More About A&P

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) was founded in New York back in 1859. There were many locations across New York State.

A&P was one of the first big chain stores in the United States. At one point it was the most popular grocery chain in the United States.

The company laid the foundation for the "American grocery store experience" while offering "exceptionally low prices, Food Republic reports.

If you read that it's no surprise A&P made the list of America's favorite grocery stores. But it IS surprising when you realize the company closed all stores in 2015.
