“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 have the opportunity to visit the local big top!. 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!” - Member of the Board of top! Ilze Priedīte says.
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 the maximum. Along with the new building, the surrounding area has also been equipped with new parking 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.
