TOPS is a grocery store known for its neat and organized layout, offering a decent selection of food items at reasonable prices. Customers appreciate the late hours, which are convenient for those shopping in the area. The store features a bottle and can redemption center, making it easy for customers to recycle their containers. Although the prepared foods department receives praise for its friendly staff, such as a dedicated employee who prepared five fish dinners, there are concerns about the self-checkout lines, which often have long waits due to only a few kiosks being open. While the produce section has been criticized for being overpriced and lacking freshness, some shoppers enjoy the gluten-free options and new products like veggie cream cheese. However, caution is advised as there have been reports of moldy items on the shelves. Overall, TOPS offers a satisfactory grocery shopping experience with a few areas needing improvement.

Bev in prepared foods department was wonderful yesterday in preparing 5 fish dinners for us - even though we arrived later than planned. She is retiring next Saturday and we wish her well. Hoping that TOPS has a nice send off for this pleasant lady who has devoted 28 years of her life to your store.

Stopped by for a quick visit and I was very happy to see Tops has finally added it's own veggie cream cheese spread. Yay ?? and it's good and on sale 2 for 5?
