Olean Tops Being Renovated

Tops Friendly Markets has started renovations of its Olean, N.Y. store, which will give the store an updated look and expand the selection available to customers.

Tops, who has had a presence in Olean for 37 years, will make various improvements to the store located at 2401 West State St. The changes will include exterior and interior improvements. The 77,000 square foot store originally opened in 1995.

“Olean and Cattaraugus County are very important to Tops Markets, and we identified this store in particular to make some general improvements for our customers,” said Frank Curci, CEO of Tops. “Tops has a long and proud tradition in Olean and we are certain our customers will like the new features of the store and take advantage of the increased selection of products.”

Tops is adding a new natural and organic foods section, responding to a nationwide trend of consumers seeking those products. Other changes coming to the store include new décor inside the store and some exterior painting. In addition, Tops is replacing meat and seafood display cases and dairy and frozen food display cases, which will allow the store to offer a wider variety of products to customers.

“When these renovations are complete, our customers will have a more welcoming shopping experience while at the same time being able to take advantage of our increased selection of products, specifically in natural and organic foods and dairy and frozen foods,” said Tim Lyons, manager of the Olean Tops.

In addition, Tops is installing a new, modern energy management system, which will reduce the electricity consumption of store lighting and refrigeration programs. The new frozen food display cases will also feature anti-sweat heaters, reducing energy consumption.

The general contractor for the project is Concept Construction Corp. of Elma, N.Y. and the refrigeration contractor is TDH Refrigeration of Cheektowaga, N.Y.

The renovation work is scheduled to be completed by mid November.
