cass71 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 All the tops up here will start liquidating the week of Nov. 7th. Starting with 25% the first week, 50% the next and finally 75%. I think they might even go 90% the last week. They will officially be closed by Dec. 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kboyts Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I just got a tops ad in the mail and it had a note on it about all of their stores being open while they were sold. Awesome I never liked tops anyway but I will be sure to hit them up for 25-50 % off my bill ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsette Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm feel so bad that they are closing... I really liked them. I sure hope someone buys the stores that Giant Eagle did not purchase. I just don't want one big grocery store... plus all those people out a job... something should have been done about this months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novac Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The Tops here all rotated with huge sales, but it was because they all remodeled and upgraded and needed to clear off shelving space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFQueenofNY Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Alot of the non-food items will get sent to all the remaining open stores. They did that after the last set of closings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cass71 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 From my sources these Tops won't be sending anything to the remaining open stores since they are all closing here. The warehouses are not receiving anything and haven't been for about a month now and the stores backrooms are very very bare. So when they sell out of things they will really be out of them. The sad part of this is that it really is effecting more people then just those that work in the stores. The warehouse people, the merchandisers, the demo people, truck drivers.

christmasangel Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Wow- I can't imangine our area without Tops! Tops is very profitable around Western New York. Good luck grabbing sweet deals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leefamily23 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Christmasangel- many of the Tops in this area will be closing-- it's been in the news last week. There is a chance a few more could become Martin's (the 2 closest to me already have- Derby & Fredonia). My uncle-in-law is a tops warehouse driver, we were just talking about this last weekend, he said they were told it's inevitable unless a deal comes through.

mywarmbluefleece Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 My dad went to Tops and said it seemed like they marked their prices up before they marked them down. He said everything seemed more expensive. I am waiting til next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieandjoeysmom Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 My dad went to Tops and said it seemed like they marked their prices up before they marked them down.

cass71 Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I just got back from Tops. Meat, Dairy, & Produce is 10% off, School supplies are 40% off, Greeting Cards & Hair coloring are 50% off and just about everything else is 30 % off. I agree everything seems to have been marked up. Plus the coupons are not doubling as of today, which was a really disappointment. I spent 2 hours going through figuring prices out and searching for coupons for everything and then to just have it not double was frustrating! I would have saved those coupons for Giant Eagles then! Oh and no checks are being accepted only cash and credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mominthepark Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I went to Tops with my coupons, no where did it say that they were no longer doubling, I saved $58.00, but it should have been a lot more. I also thought that they raised a lot of their prices, especially on the frozen foods. I wouldn't buy anything unless I had a coupon for it, but I got burned on the doubling.

bugsette Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 same here. gosh I wish someone would buy the rest of the stores that Giant Eagle/Dave's did not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywarmbluefleece Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I think I'll avoid Tops. It is sad they are closing and a lot of them aren't being purchased by anyone else. Giant Eagle will have a monopoly in a lot of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcedtoregister Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The Tops next to Richmond Mall got bought by Zagara's Marketplace. I LOVE Zagara's in Cleveland Heights so I am happy to see them expand. They are a bit more expensive than Tops was but no more than Heinen's is and their service is great. For instance, their "cafe specials" cooked by chefs right when you order. Plus, all those unique things that the big box grocers don't have Zagara's does. Ooo, Ooo, and you can pay with your fingerprint... no more wallet searching or check writing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saubunch Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I live in Ashtabula County and the Tops here closed already. Does anyone know where the next closest Tops store is that is closing???? THANKS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan-kun Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Saubunch, I'm from Mentor and we have a Tops store. I don't know if there are any Tops stores further east that may be closer to you. But Mentor's Top store is right at the Route 2 exit for Rt. 615 (Center St.). and it's near the Big Lots and Gabriel Brothers plaza if you know where that is. I was there yesterday and the store was pretty empty, though they still had quite a bit left and almost everything (except bakery) is 40-60% off.

refundmommy Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi, I'm new... just wanted to say that we had 2 Tops stores here, and they are both now closed. I went to them both and they were upto 80% off. Milk and dairy and pop were all 10% off. Regular food was 50% off or higher and most everything else was 70-80& off. I got a bunch of stocking stuffers for my kids in the toys and school supplies stuff for next to nothing. I love saving money :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
