After spending more than one year shedding under performing stores and ancillary divisions, Tops Markets LLC is preparing to re-assert itself into its core Western New York region.

Chief among them:

Spending up to $60 million in the next two years remodeling and renovating up to 26 stores. The stores run across Tops' local frontier including ones in West Seneca, Amherst, Medina and Lockport.

Restoring the Tops' brand name to the Martin's Super Foods supermarket on Maple Road in Amherst. The change over takes place on April 16, ending a one-year experiment with the Martin's brand name at Tops' flagship store
