Gas drops; so does discount

In a letter to customers yesterday, Ukrop’s Super Markets Inc. said it trimmed its fuelperks! discount in half and will focus attention on cutting prices at stores. Robert S. Ukrop, president and chief executive of the grocery chain, said that based on customer comments and dropping gasoline prices, the chain is getting more aggressive with in-store discounting. The chain lowered prices on about 2,500 items, he said.
