TOPS, Supermarkets, Grocery Stores
Hours: Tops is a local grocery store that offers a variety of products and services, with some notable strengths and differences compared to nearby competitors. The store has a large produce department and a wide frozen foods section, with Tops featuring a bigger variety of frozen items and flavors of ice cream, including its own light ice cream options. The bakery department provides in-store cakes, including custom designs, and is known for good quality meats, which some customers prefer over other stores. Tops also has a gas station, offering discounts with store shopping, and both stores have bottle return facilities. While Tops is often seen as less modern and slightly grungier than Wegmans, it makes up for this with some practical advantages. The store accepts only cash, which was highlighted during a recent power outage, and does not accept debit, credit, EBT, or gift cards. Nonetheless, it frequently offers sales and discounts, making prices competitive despite higher sticker prices. The store's cleanliness and sanitation practices are appreciated by customers who value masks and hygiene, giving Tops a slight edge in that area. Compared to Wegmans, Tops has a more limited prepared foods section, but it surpasses Wegmans in frozen foods and ice cream selection. The store's dairy section is extensive, and meats are considered better by some shoppers. Although Wegmans is newer, brighter, and offers more in-store prepared foods and a nicer appearance, Tops's lower prices and sales appeal to many customers. Overall, despite its less modern setting, Tops is viewed as a good, reliable store and has become the preferred shopping destination for many, especially for cakes, frozen foods, and discounts.
