The expanded produce area includes items from more than 500 local produce and dairy farmers.

An expanded section of the store dedicated to healthy hydration carries waters, teas, mixers and sparkling waters, including many imported varieties. Other features include expanded deli products, cheeses and specialty items, and carryout café areas with sandwiches, signature pizzas, extensive prepared salad varieties, and other grab-and-go breakfast, lunch and dinner options.
Tops also increased the store's antibiotic-free meat, plant-based options, sustainable seafood selections, and certified-organic and gluten-free offerings.
