Tops Friendly Markets has completed a $2.2 million remodel of its store at 2265 Downer St. in Baldwinsville, New York, and will celebrate the grand reopening with a ceremonial ribbon cutting Sept. 15 at 10 a.m., welcoming customers, community members and local officials to tour the renovated store. Tops also will provide local nonprofits with $1,000 in gift cards to support their causes.
