The Tops Market on Jefferson Avenue reopened its doors for the first time in 2 months since the deadly May 14 mass shooting.
Ten lives were lost that day and other lives were changed forever.
The store has seen a re-design to help customers feel comfortable.
Tops on Jefferson Avenue officially reopened at 7:45 a.m.
Employees gathered for a blessing of the store before walking back into Tops for an emotional reunion.
"Looking in the eyes of the Tops employees, you could still see the sadness. You can see some of the employees are happy to return," said LaCandice Durham.
Of the 90 employees who work at Tops, 2 On Your Side is told nearly 50 returned to work. Officials at the grocery store say when the employees walked in, many of them were in tears.
As the East Buffalo tries to heal from a racist gunman's lasting effects on their community, some held a prayer service for victims while others like Duraham are finding ways to show support to all with a sign and balloons as people returned.
