Tops Friendly Markets Press Release & Graphic

As we welcome a new school year, Tops Friendly Markets is proud to announce the return of the ‘Tops in Education’ program, running Sept. 1 through May 31, 2026. This simple, rewarding program has already made a remarkable impact – donating over $2 million to more than 1,000 area schools since its inception in 2012.

TIE makes it easy for families to support local schools:

•Log on to www.topsmarkets.com/education to quickly register your Tops BonusPlus card.

•Select up to three K-12 schools of your choice from the list of participating schools.

•Shop as usual and watch your schools earn up to 5% in rewards every time you purchase participating products.

From TOPS BRAND and Full Circle to Crav’n, Paws Happy Life, Simply Done, and more, hundreds of household staples qualify for school rewards. These items not only provide great value, but also help busy families pack nutritious lunches and stock up on essentials – all while giving back to their community.

“Reaching the milestone of over $2 million donated to area schools is something we are incredibly proud of,” said Courtney Mailhot, manager of community relations for Tops Markets. “From funding school field trips and dances to providing extra classroom supplies and youth sports equipment, the impact of TIE continues to enrich the lives of local students and educators.”

To maximize the benefits of TIE, schools and families can find helpful tips and promotional tools at www.topsmarkets.com/education.

Headquartered in Williamsville, Tops Markets operates 152 grocery stores across New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont, including one franchise location in Lewiston. Learn more at www.topsmarkets.com.
