Our Company

Since 1859, the simple letters "A&P" have stood as a trusted source of fresh, high-quality food for the family dinner table. Starting with our first store at the corner of Vesey and Church streets, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company has continually strived to grow and evolve to better meet the needs of families in all of the neighborhoods we serve.

Today, with over 330 stores operating under the A&P, Waldbaum's, Pathmark, Superfresh, Food Basics and The Food Emporium banners, we're proud to be one of the largest grocery companies in America's largest market. But more than anything, we are a local business, working with local growers, bakers and manufacturers. Our goal is to bring personal, one-to-one service to millions of customers living in the diverse communities of the Northeast.
