A&P, Pathmark, SuperFresh Bankruptcy – What You Need to Know!
Shoppers who learned recently that their favorite stores will close or be sold are left with questions. On July 20, 2015, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) announced that it filed for bankruptcy. A&P owns and operates 296 stores under the brand names A&P, Best Cellars, Food Basics, The Food Emporium, Pathmark, Superfresh and Waldbaum’s. A&P announced that 25 stores would close, while the others would be sold. Those stores are poised to become Acme, Stop & Shop, or Key Food markets. A full list of stores that are closing and being sold is below.
What does this all mean for shoppers? We checked with A&P to find out.
How does the bankruptcy filing affect customers?
The vast majority of stores are operating normally and will be fully stocked. A&P further reports that even stores that are closing will be fully stocked until that happens.
When will my local store close or change ownership?
There is no firm date yet, as details are still being worked out. The likely timeframe is October into November. Bloomberg News reports that A&P plans to seek court approval of the already announced sales early next month.
Why is my local store closing?
A & P explains that 25 stores are closing “due to lack of interest and significant ongoing store operating losses.”
Will my local store continue to honor customer loyalty programs?
Yes. A& P will honor all existing customer promotional and loyalty programs.
Can I still use my coupons and loyalty points at other locations?
Yes. A &P will honor all existing customer promotional and loyalty programs at stores that will remain open during the sale process.
What if people want to return items that they previously purchased?
A & P will continue to accept returned merchandise from customers, as usual.
Will any A & P stores still be in business?
Bloomberg News reports that A & P is unlikely to emerge from bankruptcy.
