Very
small
(as
far
as
branches
of
the
major
grocery
retailers
go)
-
with
very
limited
selection
of
foods.
For
example:
there
was
exactly
1
variety
of
chopped
beef
available
for
burgers
-
80%
lean
!
That's
it
!
(No
85,
no
90...)(and
no
chopped
sirloin
or
anything
else).
No
fish
or
seafood
section
at
all
!!
Only
thing
available
in
seafood
is
prepackaged
bags
of
things
like
frozen
shrimp
or
crabmeat.
No
real
stock
of
"ethnic"
foods.
The
selection
of
non
grocery
items
-
like
OTC
drugs,
utensils,
cleaning,
electrical,
etc.
is
very
limited
as
well.
The
store
is
often
crowded
on
weekends
-
small
aisles,
kind
of
old
and
dirty
feeling
-
obviously
hasn't
been
renovated
anytime
recently.
The
prices
are
surprisingly
and
absurdly
high
(a
few
examples:
this
Tops
price
for
a
regular
size
Paul
Newman's
pasta
sauce
(not
organic)
is
$3.49;
regular
price
for
1/2
gal.
of
Tropicana
OJ
is
$5.39
!!
(when
"on
sale"
-
which
isn't
that
often
it's
2/$7)
-
at
Tops
on
Rt.
6
in
Carmel,
NY
in
Putnam
County
(actually
a
much
wealthier
area)
the
regular
price
for
the
Newman
sauce
is
$2.19
!!
and
Tropicana
OJ
1/2
gal
is
usually
on
sale
at
2/$6
-
when
it's
not
price
is
$3.99.
One
obvious
reason
is
because
they
have
a
monopoly
here
-
it
is
around
a
35
min
drive
to
larger
towns
that
have
other
much
larger
grocery
stores
(such
as
Catskill,
Saugerties
or
a
bit
further
to
Kingston).
If
you
are
planning
on
spending
time
in
the
Hunter/Tannersville
area,
probably
a
good
idea
to
stock
up
on
food
on
your
way.
And
if
you're
going
into
this
Tops
in
the
future,
I'd
mask
up
(during
any
possible
future
recurrence
of
a
COVID
surge)...
Poor
ventilation,
small
aisles,
etc.
All
in
all,
if
you
have
a
choice
-
stay
away.
Or
you
can
also
go
to
the
Hannaford
in
Woodstock/W.Hurley
or
the
Hannaford
in
Cairo
NY
(both
about
25-28
min
drive)
-
both
of
the
Hannaford's
have
larger
selection
and
lower
prices.
