Williamsville, NY – Tops Friendly Markets, the leading full-service grocery retailer in upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania, announced Monday that Susan Detzer of Locke, NY is a winner in Tops’ “Great American Car-A-Day Giveaway.”  Tops honored Detzer with a formal presentation on Monday, July 25 at the Ithaca Tops location at 2300 N. Triphammer Road.

Detzer is the winner of a brand new vehicle valued at $20,000 as part of the giveaway running from Memorial Day through July 4 (5/30 – 7/4.) Every time a customer shopped at a Tops Markets during that period of time using their BonusCard, they were automatically entered into that day’s drawing for a chance to win a brand new car.  Detzer is Tops’ 34th Great American Car-A-Day winner and made her winning purchase at the 2300 N. Triphammer Road Tops location on July 2.

“We are thrilled to present 36 Tops shoppers with brand new vehicles over the course of this exciting promotion,” said Frank Curci, Tops president and CEO.  “At Tops, we strive to create innovative ways to provide our customers with exciting shopping experiences like the ‘Great American Car-A-Day Giveaway,’ while delivering exceptional value every day.”

The “Great American Car-A-Day Giveaway” was the first of its kind for a grocer in the area and allowed customers to enter to win daily every time they checked-out at a Tops Markets location.  One drawing was held each day and one winner was selected for each daily drawing from all eligible entries in a random drawing held by Tops on or about two days after the applicable daily drawing period.

Customers who purchased specially marked “bonus” Fresh Express, Pepsi, Arm and Hammer, Coca Cola, Lay’s, Pantene, Gillette, Jennie-O, Top Care and Tops private label products received one additional entry for each “bonus” item, subject to a daily maximum of no more than eighteen bonus store entries per day.  Official entry rules and information can be found at www.topsmarkets.com.

As part of the “Great American Car-A-Day Giveaway,” on May 24 Tops launched the “Great American Charity Car Giveaway,” a campaign that will allow online users to vote for their favorite not-for-profit organization to win a new vehicle valued at $20,000. From May 24 to June 14, charities were encouraged to complete nomination forms to officially enter their organization in the Tops “Great American Charity Car Giveaway.”
