CBSN
The Tops Friendly Market that was the scene of a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, in May is reopening on Friday. The supermarket has been fully renovated since the deadly attack, store officials said.
The store on Jefferson Avenue says it will reopen "quietly and respectfully." A "moment of silence and prayer" is scheduled for Thursday at 2:30 p.m. local time to "honor and respect all victims and impacted associates and community members."
"Our effort has been towards trying to reopen the store as soon as possible and we will do it in a respectful way," company president John Persons said at a press conference last month, according to local news outlet WKBW. "We will do it properly."
