Before we take a look at the store, I want to give some background information as its location has a history. This site was previously home to a Kmart which closed in 2008. Tops, whose store was previously located just up the road about 1/2 mile away, relocated here to open a more modern store as part of an aggressive remodeling (and/or relocating) campaign.

Now for the store itself:
 |
| Produce and floral greet you upon entering. (Assuming you enter via the right entrance) |
 |
| Along the back wall, produce transitions to Deli and prepared meals. The Tops Cafe comes after. |
 |
| The back wall consists of meat, seafood and milk after the cafe. |
 |
| The bottom left corner consists of frozen foods, bakery and the pharmacy. |
 |
| These local artwork pictures are always appreciated. |
I don't like the fake reflection on the letters. It would look much nicer if they had the actual aluminum front on them.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind them, but yes, I bet many will have to get used too them.
DeleteTops has actually dropped this decor package and rolled out a new white/black/gray decor package that takes some elements of the package you showed in the pictures. Stores that rolled out the new package starting last summer in the Buffalo area include: Alden, East Amherst, Thruway Plaza, Lancaster (Transit/French), Orchard Park, and Sheridan Dr.
ReplyDeleteI had heard about Orchard Park being updated but this does makes sense. It's been a while since they last updated.
DeleteThis was Tops' newest decor at the time this article was posted.
