The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company is one of the largest supermarket and liquor store chains in the United States. Never heard of it? You, like most people, might know it by its initials: A&P.
Founded in 1859 as a mail order tea and spice business with a single shop in Manhattan, A&P today sits tall as one of the largest retailers in the United States, with over 300 stores operating under the names Pathmark, Waldbaums, The Food Emporium, Food Basics, Superfresh, and, of course, A&P, many of which feature a bakery, delicatessen, and pharmacy, along with traditional grocery store offerings.
In the past few years, A&P has restructured, closing some stores following its 2010 bankruptcy, adding new store brands, and turning its operations around. Headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, the company stands today as one of the largest employers in the Garden State.

The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company headquarters are located at 2 Paragon Dr., in Montvale, NJ.
