BUFFALO – The owners of Tops supermarket say they will be looking to close underperforming stores.
Tops filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in February and as part of the reorganization of the company, officials say they will likely close some stores – although details on specific locations have not been released.
The supermarket chain, which employees more than 14,000 people across the country, has several locations in Jamestown and Chautauqua County, including two locations in Jamestown, as well as a location in Falconer, Frewsburg, Mayville, Westfield, Dunkirk and Silver Creek.
According to an article in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, the company will seek permission to close some stores from a U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the coming weeks.
According to documents, Tops is requesting “to close any stores that they determine, in their business judgment, should be closed in order to preserve liquidity and maximize the value of their respective estates.”
The motion will go before the court on May 10.
