Food Emporium on Elm Street To Be Sold To Acme Following A&P Bankruptcy Filing

The Food Emporium on Elm Street in New Canaan is among the 120 A&P supermarket chain stores that its parent company, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, intends to sell following a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on Monday, company officials said. “The [New Canaan] store is part of the sale process,” the company’s human resources director of communication and training, Dana Regan, told NewCanaanite.com in an email. “This process will take months to complete. During this time, the store will remain open and supplied.”

According to a post on the company’s website, most customers will experience no impact on their shopping experience. “While some stores will close in the near-term, the vast majority will continue providing customers with the same high-quality products and exceptional customer service,” A&P’s bulletin said.
