Tops to honor US veterans & active military with 11% discount this Veterans Day

Tops Friendly Markets will once again offer military personnel and their immediate families an 11 percent discount off of their grocery bill this Veterans Day. This marks the 10th year Tops has been extending this discount to military personnel and their families.

On Friday, Nov. 11, Tops Markets will honor an 11% discount off of a total order to all veterans and immediate family members in the same household, who shop at any Tops location. Customers should present proof of service that they, or an immediate family member are a U.S. veteran, active-duty, reserve or retired military personnel, to automatically receive an 11% discount off of their total purchase that day.

“The respect and gratitude we have for the people who serve and have served in the military is immeasurable, and for that we are forever grateful,” said John Persons, president, Tops Friendly Markets. “We wanted to support local military personnel by giving back to our associates and customers who have courageously defended our country and made many sacrifices through their military service.”
