WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. (WKBW) — Tops Friendly Markets says it is expanding its contactless shopping options throughout its stores.

Most Tops locations will have 'tap and go payment' options including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, along with other compatible credit and debit cards.

Tops says it plans on fully implementing this service by the end of 2020.

“In a time where we are laser focused on everything we are coming into contact with, Tap & Go payment is a great way to offer peace of mind to our shoppers,” said Kathy Sautter, public and media relations manager for Tops Friendly Markets.

Tops is also implementing a service where you can use your phone to scan and bag your items as you shop.

When you do this, you can find savings and rewards being applied automatically to your shopping cart.

You you finish you can visit any pay station for expedited checkout.
