Tops Friendly Markets unveiled its Farmington Store today, after the completion of $1.2 million dollars in renovations.
CEO Frank Curci says the whole store has a new look and feel to it.
"In our produce department, we have twice the variety that the store had in the past, we've added natural and organic. In the meat department we've added a different variety, all USDA choice beefs. So all throughout the store it's been upgraded."
The new Tops store takes the place of Wades Market Center, which operated in that location for nearly 50 years before going out of business in 2015.
Curci says the community has really embraced Tops.
"We like to be part of the community that we serve, so there's going to be nothing missing there in terms of what we do for the community. Most of the employees stayed with us."
Company officials cut the ribbon on the store and presented community organizations with more than $2 thousand dollars in donations.
