Tops Friendly Markets has completed a $2 million remodel of its store at 150 Niagara Street in Tonawanda, marking the company’s 51st major store remodel in six years. The project is part of Tops’ Capital Improvement Project, which has included more than $100 million invested across its three‑state footprint.
The 67,279‑square‑foot store has undergone a comprehensive renovation, including a new exterior storefront with updated awnings, building signage, fresh paint, and a parking lot and landscaping refresh. Inside, the store features enhanced décor, interior paint, new LED lighting, a complete center store reset and renovated restrooms.
Tops will celebrate the grand re‑opening with a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 9 a.m. on June 2, welcoming customers, community members and local officials to tour the renovated store.
“This remodel reflects our continued commitment to our customers and the communities we serve,” said Ron Ferri, president of Tops Friendly Markets. “By reinvesting in another store in Tonawanda, we’re delivering a more modern, convenient shopping experience while continuing to offer great value.”
Enhanced departments and services
Customers will experience upgrades across key departments, including:
- Expanded produce department with new cases and display fixtures;
- Enhanced deli and Carry‑Out Café featuring Marketplace Deli, Meals to Go and sushi;
- Expanded bakery with additional frozen offerings, new fixtures, an updated bread wall and donuts;
- New healthy hydration and health & natural/organic offerings; and
- Refreshed fuel station with new Gilbarco pumps featuring PCI‑ and EMV‑compliant touchscreen technology, a 3D barcode reader for Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, and a nine‑inch interactive screen highlighting savings. Customers can scan their BonusPlus card from the Tops App at the pump to redeem GasPoints savings.
Convenient services include Instacart pickup and delivery, DoorDash delivery, order‑ahead meals and catering, the Flashfood app and a full‑service pharmacy.
The grand re‑opening celebration will continue throughout June with special promotions and in‑store events surrounding America’s 250th birthday and Tops’ Stars for Our Troops program, where community members are encouraged to retire torn and tattered U.S. flags for proper disposal.
