Your history of A&P reminds me of a political spin with no basis in
reality.

Those of you outside the NY/Philly area may not realize A&P is still
alive, if barely.

They are a perfect example of a company that dominated the market and
then failed to change to meet the consumer's needs. Reminds me of Sears
and KMart.

In the 50's when they "owned" the supermarket business, there was new
anti-trust laws implemented because of A&P's dominance in the industry.
