Twenty of the outlets will be operated under their current Grand Union banner; the other store will continue to have the Bryant’s banner.
The deal will expand Tops’ presence in northern and eastern New York and in northern Vermont.
C&S chief administrative officer Michael Newbold said the deal made “excellent strategic sense” for both companies.
