About Tops Umlazi
TOPS at SPAR liquor stores usually trade next to a SPAR supermarket under the same owner. In Umlazi, the SPAR store finder lists a TOPS beside each of the two SUPERSPAR supermarkets. The Philani Valley store is listed as “Mega Philani Valley TOPS”, which is why it is often searched as “TOPS at SPAR Mega Philani Valley Umlazi”.
