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.

Well, they keep changing, but they don't seem to meet the customer's
needs. They completely refurbished one store close to me, and within a
year, closed it to build a much bigger store a couple of miles away.
Personally, I preferred the smaller store.
