The following is a news release from the city of Idaho Falls.
Attention Idaho Falls business owners! There is a new city ordinance which may require action from you by May 15. Check your mailbox for a flyer and letter with additional information and instructions from the Idaho Falls Fire Department.
The Partners in Public Safety Program empowers business owners to work with the department to proactively protect employees, businesses, firefighters and the public.
Fire and other emergencies are inherently risky and dangerous to the continuous operation of businesses, the public and firefighters. This risk can be considerably lessened when emergency response personnel have current and accurate information about the conditions, conduct, and operations of a business.
Tops Markets / Price Choppers
It is one of the larger moves in the supermarket world. Tops Markets CEO Frank Curci talked about the grocer s announced merger with Price Chopper.
Officials are calling this a merger, not a takeover, eventhough Price Chopper is a little larger and its CEO, Scott Grimmett, will be the CEO of the new parent company that will oversee both organizations. Curci, who has been Tops CEO for 14 years, will help with the transition and serve on the board of the new parent company.
He stressed that the two organizations will retain their individual identities, and said this merger is needed to stay strong and competitive.

Syracuse, N.Y. Mergers are often bad news for workers. About 30% of employees are considered redundant when two companies in the same industry merge, according to the Harvard Business Review.
In the retail industry, it also often means store closings, especially when the merged companies have stores that are close to each other and compete for the same customers.
But store closings and big job cuts may not be in the offing for Price Chopper and Tops Markets when the two New York-based supermarket chains merge.
