TOPS UPDATES LIMITED ITEMS
The health and well -being of our customers and associates is our first priority. In January, our internal “Tops Crisis Management Team” started the process of preparing for the COVID-19 event that had just started. Since then, the team has taken daily action to ensure increased supply of products coming into our warehouses and stores for our customers to purchase. Additionally, they have increased the availability of disinfectants, sanitizers, and cleaning supplies for all our associates to use in their work environment to help combat the spread of germs. Store cleaning protocols were adjusted, proper sanitation procedures were reiterated and cleaning cycles were also increased. The Tops Crisis Management Team and executive management have been monitoring and meeting daily and have been responding accordingly to ensure business continuity and to limit disruption to our customers.

What are we limiting:

Since this is an ever changing situation, we will continue to monitor it closely and will make adjustments accordingly.
