I really would like the Tops/Quality store at routes 77 and 31 to stay open. I don't feel that it is too close to the other Tops stores that are in the area already. The elimination of this store is only going to create more congestion at the remaining stores. We have Aldi and Save Alot in Lockport which create competition, and they will continue to do so. The convenience of having that location is unbelievable. There are plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods along with the basics of flour ,sugar and etc. Many people depend on the store for their jobs also! We really can't take a hit like that to our area economey! There is nothing like being able to discuss your requests for meat, cakes etc. with store employees that have been there for years and understand your needs. Please do not close this store- too many people depend on it for alot of different reasons!
