2012-2013 Closings and Downsizing
In October and November 2012, Tops closed one store and downsized a second store. The first was the Elmridge Center store in Greece, NY, which closed in October 2012. Employees and customers were absorbed into other nearby locations. The Geneva, NY store downsized and moved into the Geneva Town Centre in November 2012. This new store is a 51,364 square foot location and has upgraded departments, along with a gas station, that were not in the formerly larger location. Both of these stores had been 84,000 square foot superstores that Tops built in the early 1990s.
In 2013, Tops is planning to downsize another store. The Jefferson Rd location in Henrietta, NY is scheduled to relocate to the Frontier Commons Plaza. As a result, the store would now be 55,000 square feet instead of the existing 76,000 square feet it now occupies. The new location would have departments and a gas station which are not found in the current location. Tops is planning to open this new store as soon as Fall 2013.
