On July 17, a new top! grocery store opened its doors at 8 Paula Lejiņa Street in Riga, offering a wide selection of food and culinary products in a modern, energy-efficient, and customer-friendly environment. This is already the eighth new top! store opened this year and the twelfth in Riga. More than one million euros were invested in the project, creating 10 new jobs for local residents.

ChatGPT said:

The building, purchased two years ago, has undergone significant transformation — the facade has been renovated, a top! store has been built in line with the retail chain’s unified concept, and rental spaces have been improved. Total investments in the project exceed one million euros, allocated toward infrastructure upgrades, the implementation of energy-efficient solutions, and the purchase of modern equipment. The newly opened top! store occupies 244 m² of the building’s total 880 m² area, while the remaining space will be leased to other businesses, promoting local entrepreneurship and expanding the range of services available to residents of Zolitūde.

The new store will be open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, providing Zolitūde residents with essential food and non-food items conveniently close to home. 

“We not only focus on offering a wide selection and high-quality products, but we also want every customer to feel welcome and valued here. We are especially proud of our fresh culinary and bakery selection, which is prepared right on site — it’s one of the signature features of our top! stores that customers have come to love,” says Ilze Priedīte, Board Member and Marketing Director of the top! retail chain.

What does the new store offer?

  • Freshly baked pastries and confectionery products made on-site
  • Fresh meat sold by weight, meat products, fish, and ready-made culinary items
  • Two checkout counters for customer convenience
  • Energy-efficient LED lighting and modern equipment throughout the store

“The funds invested in this project are a purposeful step toward the development of sustainable and modern local business. We hope that this top! store will become a beloved shopping and meeting place in the Zolitūde neighborhood,” adds Ilze Priedīte.
