Harry’s grandsons Robert and Thomas Nichols made the decision to retire after working in the family business their entire professional career according to the report.  It was a seamless transfer of ownership with the new owners training under the Nichols brothers for the last month according to the report.

According to the pittsfield.com article, Harry’s Supermarket will remain very much like it is right now keeping the name and the current employees intact.   Harry’s new owner Ravikant Patel also owns local Berkshire businesses Williamstown Wine and Spirits and O'Geary's in Adams according to pittsfield.com.

We wish both Robert and Thomas Nichols the very best in retirement and the Patels' great success in continuing the century-old Harry’s Supermarket.
