It is anticipated after Tops store inventory liquidation sales are completed in early December, the stores will be closed temporarily for restocking and remerchandising. During this temporary closure, the in-store pharmacies will remain open, allowing customers to continue to order and pick up prescriptions. Giant Eagle will then reopen the former Tops locations in a phased approach, beginning in mid-December, with a second round of stores opening in January of 2007, and culminating in late summer of 2007 with three stores which will replace existing Giant Eagle supermarkets. Importantly, the transaction will bring Giant Eagle locations to new areas of northeast Ohio in Medina and Norwalk.

In the hours and days to come, I will be meeting with all parties to discuss the community impact and the effect on jobs in our community. My first and foremost concern has always been, and remains, to ensure that these vital jobs remain in Northeast Ohio."
