HOUSTON, Oct. 31, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics (Nasdaq:CATM) and Tops Markets have entered into a new agreement that will make Cardtronics the sole non-bank ATM provider to Tops, a leading full-service grocery retailer in the northeastern U.S. Cardtronics is the world’s largest retail ATM owner / operator.
The new, long-term agreement extends and greatly expands the relationship between the two companies that started in 2002. Previously, Tops self-managed the vast majority of ATMs in its stores, with Cardtronics owning and operating 18 cash machines. Going forward, Cardtronics ATMs will be in 162 company-owned Tops Markets grocery stores, located in New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont.
Tops Markets Executive Vice President of Operations Ron Ferri commented:
“Convenience is the first thing we promise to provide our customers, and Cardtronics is helping us ensure that our customers experience that convenience by giving them easy access to their cash. Based on our numerous years of experience with Cardtronics, we are confident that it can deliver the scale of services needed to cover essentially our entire enterprise.”
Cardtronics Chief Commercial Officer Jonathan Simpson-Dent added:
“A renewal and expansion of this magnitude is a testament to the long-term value that Cardtronics can bring to a leading grocery retailer of the caliber of Tops. We look forward to extending this service to help drive foot traffic throughout the majority of their stores.”
