TOPS TO CHANGE HANDS IN 2007

Well, I don't know about "never stops"

Get the scissors ready to start cutting up your Tops Bonus Cards, after January they will be useless at 18 of the nearly 50 locations in the northeast area. Giant Eagle is buying up their competitor’s stores and plan to announce even more as soon as agreements are completed. Union officials are working closely with Tops & Giant Eagle in an effort to protect as many full and part time jobs in the area.

The Tops store on Cleveland Street in Elyria is one of the 18 that has been purchased already and will be taken over in January 2007. Other cities affected are, Medina, Norwalk, Fairview Park, Fairview, Fairlawn, Parma, Bedford and several in Cleveland.
