Tops Friendly Markets announces agreement with GU Markets LLC | News

Tops Friendly Markets has announced that the company has entered into an agreement with GU Markets LLC, an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. to acquire 21 supermarkets located in upstate New York and Vermont.

These new stores will bring the number of Tops locations to 153 and will expand Tops’ footprint in northern and eastern New York State and neighboring northern Vermont.

“We are very excited about this growth opportunity for Tops, especially since these stores are a natural extension of our current footprint,” said Frank Curci, Tops Markets’ president and CEO in a statement.  “We are looking forward to having these stores and the surrounding communities become part of the Tops family.”

For the foreseeable future, current plans call for 20 stores to be operated under their current Grand Union banner and one store will be operated under its current Bryant’s banner.
