About Us
Founded in 1951 by the Topshe family, Tops Marketplace has been a cornerstone of quality and service for over 70 years. In 1980, John Salerno took the reins, expanding the store, innovating in food retail, and introducing several local firsts, including an in-store bakery, catering services, and a rewards program that replaced clipping coupons.
Today, Tops Marketplace offers big supermarket savings without losing the personal touch. With weekly specials, digital coupons, and the freshest local meat and produce, we give you more of what you love. Earn points for every dollar you spend with the APP Card.

Where Quality Meets Community Tops Marketplace is more than a place to shop; it’s a place built on care, connection, and community. After the 2019 fire, our neighbors stood beside us, reminding us what those words truly mean. Together, we rebuilt stronger than ever, and every day since, we’ve been proud to serve the people who make Tops feel like home.
Our Story of Resilience Our journey of faith and perseverance is shared in the book GOD is Watching the Apples, written by owners John Salerno, Betsy Tooker, and author Charles Miceli. To learn more about the book and to join us at our upcoming book signing events, click this link.
Your Local Market, Reimagined At Tops Marketplace, your local Southington and Plantsville market, quality and community go hand in hand. We’re big enough to offer you the freshest food and the widest selection, yet small enough to know you by name. We believe great food tastes even better when shared close to home. More importantly, we stay true to our roots by giving back. As a family-owned grocery store, we’ve proudly supported the greater Southington community since day one. We’re large enough to bring you the freshest food and widest selection, yet small enough to know you by name. Shop Tops Marketplace and experience the local difference.
