A statement from Tops on the company website says:
“We appreciate your patience as our supply chain and distribution teams have also been working around the clock to ensure that the food, cleaning supplies, household essentials, and pharmaceuticals that you need are reaching our stores as quickly as possible and are available to purchase in-store, with grocery pick-up, or by delivery.”
Tops also is cleaning its stores and common areas even more to protect customers and employees.
The company has taken the following actions:
