A&P TO SHUT SOME, EXPAND AND OPEN OTHERS

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. of Montvale, New Jersey plans to close 127 underperforming stores in Canada and the U.S., and open 175 new superstores over the next three years. In Canada, A&P won't announce yet how many stores it will close, but it does plan to build 25 new ones and renovate or expand another 40. Not all the new stores will be superstores in Canada. The size of each store will fit each specific market. A&P operates 238 stores in Ontario under the banners: A&P, Dominion, Ultra Food & Drug and Food Basics. The company's other core markets are in New York state and Michigan. Canadian advertising for A&P is handled by Palmer Jarvis DDB of Vancouver.
