TOPS Markets tops the list for shoppers in Buffalo, New York. The regional supermarket chain operates about 70 supermarkets and five franchised stores under the TOPS Friendly Markets banner in western New York, including the Rochester area, and northwestern Pennsylvania. TOPS Markets was acquired by Dutch grocery operator Royal Ahold in 1991 and operated as a division of Giant Food Stores, until it was sold to the private equity unit of Morgan Stanley for about $310 million in late 2007. (The weak performance of TOPS, relative to sister company Giant Food, led Ahold to separate the two chains by selling TOPS Markets.) Back under US ownership, TOPS plans to grow by catering to local tastes.
