- mikestew 6y agoOn top of the fact that it's probably been fifty years since I've stepped foot in an A&P grocery. They were hardly a monopoly even then. I'm truly surprised that they were still a going entity in 2015.
- perl4ever 6y agoI don't think I've ever been in one and couldn't have told you what states they were in. Nevertheless I heard of them somewhere, so I don't think they're the most obscure chain.
- mikestew 6y ago"Not obscure" is a loooooong way from "monopoly", which was the original argument somewhere upthread. Wikipedia says that at their peak, A&P had 10% of U. S. grocery sales. That's not even iPhone territory, let alone monopoly.
