Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in Western New York, Central New York, including Rochester, and Northwestern Pennsylvania, announced today that as part of its 30-day review process of the acquisition of a majority of Penn Traffics assets, the BiLo store in Clarion, PA will close effective March 13.

Tops continues to evaluate all stores in seeking the best possible outcome for the remaining locations. An FTC review of all locations is also pending.
