On Friday, June 10, in Salaspils, a new top! grocery store has opened at 48 Rigas Street, behind the National Botanical Garden. On the ground floor there is the grocery store top! with an area of 545 m2 and Mēness aptieka pharmacy. The new Salaspils top! will offer products of local producers, as well as locally manufactured culinary and confectionery, fresh meat and fresh fish grown in Latvia. 16 new jobs have been created at the top! store, and products can also be ordered from the etop.lv online store. The total investment in store equipment is almost half a million euros, not counting construction costs.

“In a festive mood, the second top! has opened today in Salaspils. There has been a mini top! in the city for 13 years, but from today local residents also have the opportunity to visit a local and larger top! store. Where there was once a school, and then a printing house, there is the top! store now, which will delight visitors with local pastries, local meat, Latvian sweets, dairy products, drinks, flour and cereals, fruits and vegetables, as well as other goods. And when the warm summer season begins in Latvia, we invite you to Salaspils for refreshments and ice cream!” says Member of the Board of top! Ilze Priedīte.

The new top! store is a masterpiece of local builders of the Valmiera side, and during the facility construction, building materials from local manufacturers were used to as much as possible. Along with the new building, the surrounding area has also been improved with a new parking lot and energy-efficient lighting. The store also uses modern technologies, the latest generation energy-saving recuperation system, which ensures an even air flow in the store and a pleasant temperature, both in winter and in the heat of summer. Store refrigerated display cases are also energy efficient and their refrigerant is environmentally friendly. Shoppers will also have access to two self-service checkouts for a more independent shopping experience. The second floor of the building offers premises for new tenants.

The new Salaspils top! is the second new store opened this year. At the end of March, top! opened its doors in Daugavpils. In June it is planned to open two more new stores in Riga and Tireli. At the same time renovation work is underway in existing stores to improve and modernise the shopping experience for visitors.
