The remaining Midwest Finast stores were rebadged as Tops Friendly Markets, its Buffalo, New York-based unit.

Finast was a retail supermarket brand that existed in the northeastern United States until consolidating all its Northeast stores under the Edwards Super Food Store brand by its Dutch parent Royal Ahold in the mid-1990s.
The last fifteen were numbered 1900-1914, and equipped with gasoline-powered mechanical refrigeration to transport bottled milk as a unit train from Bellows Falls, Vermont to First National Stores in Somerville, Massachusetts.
