Residents rely on Tops for community outreach, goodwill.
On the east side of Buffalo, New York, community is the neighborhood's greatest asset and the local Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Ave. serves as a vital hub, according to area leaders.
But on Saturday, May 14, all of that changed when an 18-year-old white male allegedly opened fire in what authorities say was a racially motivated attack, shooting and killing 10 people and injuring 3 others. Eleven of the victims are Black. "Years ago, some of us worked very hard to bring this supermarket to Buffalo's east side," Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown told ABC News."This was a food desert previously," he added.
"It was a really big thing about us even getting a Tops in an inner-city neighborhood," said Roberto Archie, a resident. "It was something we really needed. We finally got it; now it's gone again." Tops Supermarket offered ongoing transportation to neighboring store chains, saying in a statement,"While the Tops location at Jefferson Avenue will remain closed until further notice, we are steadfast in our commitment to serving every corner of our community as we have for the past 60 years.
