Buying fresh produce in-store — contactless— just got easier at more Tops Friendly Markets locations.
The Williamsville, N.Y.-based grocery retailer is expanding its Shop + Scan app service to four more New York stores, as customers continue to seek contactless options for their shopping experience while COVID-19 pandemic remains a part of the environment.
This convenient offering is already available in 24 Tops locations, and now will also be at two stores in Tonawanda, one in Rochester and one in Greece, N.Y.
To use the app, shoppers can scan and then bag their items as they shop. While shopping, the user will see a running total and watch their savings and rewards automatically apply. When finished, they visit any pay station for an expedited checkout.
“The expansion of this innovative new technology is essential to continue to keep our communities safe,” said Tops Digital Marketing Manager Jill Sirica said in the release. “It’s so easy to use. All you need to do is download the Tops Shop + Scan app, connect to our free in-store Wi-Fi, enter your Tops BonusPlus card number and you are ready to shop.”

Sirica said she’d like the momentum to continue, enabling Tops to add this capability to even more locations soon.
Tops operates 150 grocery stores in New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont, including five that are run by franchisees.
