TOPS FRIENDLY MARKETS BRINGS BACK CLASSIC FRESH ITALIAN AND POLISH SAUSAGE RECIPES
Williamsville, NY - Just in time for the kick-off of grilling season, Tops Friendly Markets customers can once again bring home the great taste of two local favorites, Tops Fresh Italian Sausage and Tops Polish Sausage, which were enjoyed by customers for years.

A recipe originated by Tops' founders Armond Castellani and Nino Nanula in the 1960's, Tops Fresh Italian Sausage and Tops Polish Sausage have returned to store shelves for the first time in several years. The sausages are made from fresh, lean pork, tender natural casings and a zesty blend of Tops' original recipe of spices, recreating flavors that are sure to be fondly remembered.

With Tops once again under local ownership and management, the product has returned to store shelves and will be available year-round.

"We are very excited to bring back Tops' original sausage recipes," said Frank Curci, Tops president and CEO. "There's quite a bit of history in that recipe and the sausages were a staple at local picnics and on dinner tables for years. Personally, the sausages have always been among my favorite products with the Tops name."

Tops customers can find the products in the meat section of their favorite Tops store under the names Tops Fresh Italian and Tops Polish Sausage.
