In a letter to employees today, Robert S. Ukrop dismissed as speculation reports his family-owned chain of grocery stores was actively pursuing a buyer.
Ukrop is chairman, president and CEO of Ukrop's Super Markets Inc.
"There has been a lot of speculation in the last few days about the future of Ukrop's," he wrote. "All of this is based on rumors, anonymous blog postings, and industry chatter. Anything I say at this point would just add fuel to the fire."
