LaSalle Bank, now Bank of America. Shallal of Associated Food and Petroleum Dear Friends, A new movement is sweeping our country around increasing access to fresh, healthy foods for all Americans. There is a growing recognition that access to fresh food improves public health and community development outcomes. It is often the most vulnerable residents and neighborhoods within urban communities that suffer the greatest lack of fresh food options, compounding the negative outcomes that poor access creates. Efforts to improve access come in many forms, from urban gardening initiatives, nutrition education programs, farmers markets, alternative retail outlets like neighborhood vegetable carts, and efforts to strengthen and improve urban grocery stores. Many of these efforts are present in Detroit and contribute to incremental improvements in Detroiters’ access to fresh food. The Detroit Fresh Food Access Initiative was convened to specifically address the role of traditional food retail outlets in fresh food access, with the goal of recommending ways to strengthen the overall grocery industry as a delivery mechanism for fresh and healthy foods. These traditional food retail outlets, namely neighborhood grocery stores, face additional pressures in the urban environment. Not insurmountable, these pressures result from complex factors and demand comprehensive solutions. This report contains the recommendations proposed by the Detroit Fresh Food Access Initiative to address these complex factors. The City of Detroit presents opportunities for the development of new grocery stores and the expansion of existing stores. These opportunities can be accelerated only if the overall economic system that prevents widespread urban grocery store success is addressed. We hope that a wide variety of stakeholders will join together to help implement the recommendations outlined in this report. There is a role for everyone, from policymakers, government agencies, elected officials, financial institutions, economic and community development partners, grocery industry members, social service agencies, community organizations to residents. We invite stakeholders to consider how their contributions can complement, or in some cases, implement the recommendations outlined in this report. We look forward to continuing to work with Detroit Fresh Food Access Initiative members to implement the recommendations. We thank them for their significant contributions to this report and the overall effort to improve fresh food access in Detroit. Together, we can all make a difference in Detroit’s public and community health.

  • A&P Stock Rises on News of Sale
    - Advertisement - A&P stock rises on news of sale May 11, 2005 The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., the owner of A&P supermarkets, hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. to find a buyer for its Canadian grocery-store business, a sale that could raise more than $1 billion. This announcement, combined with its latest financial results and a planned major restructuring, led to sharply higher stock prices the week of May 9-13. A&P plans to sell A&P Canada, divest itself of its Midwest operations, and concentrate on its core operations in the broad corridor from Connecticut to Washington, DC. Christian Haub, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, said, "The strategic, operational and financial steps we are taking are aimed at unlocking the value of our Canadian operations and building the value of A&P for the benefit of all of the company's shareholders. They will enable us to de-leverage and strengthen our balance sheet, focus greater attention and resources on our core U.S. operations, and pursue the implementation of our fresh and discount retail formats. These initiatives will position the new A&P to achieve sustainable profitability, long-term growth and success, and increased shareholder value." The news sent A&P shares to their highest price since mid-2002 on the New York Stock Exchange. They closed May 9 at $22.55, up $4.20, or 23 percent, from the previous close. The previous 52-week high was $18.90. Though some analysts questioned the logic of selling the Canadian division, which is by far A&Ps most profitable, the company is forging ahead.

  • Ken Green and A&P Part Ways
    - Advertisement - Ken Green and A&P part ways October 2, 2005 Continuing its restructuring and downsizing, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. Inc., based in Montvale, NJ, ended its employment relationship with Ken Green, vice president of produce merchandising, as well as a number of other people at that level, on Monday, Sept. 26. Reached by The Produce News on Wednesday, Sept. 28, Mr. Green confirmed that he and A&P had "parted company on Monday after 40 years" with the firm. A&P declined to comment. Mr. Green said that he also was not at liberty to discuss the situation according to the terms of his severance agreement. The Produce News learned that numerous vice presidents of merchandising in charge of other departments were let go at the same time. Earlier in the month, A&P had announced another restructuring at the senior executive level. At that time, Bob Panasuk was replaced as senior vice president of merchandising by Stephen Slade. Mr. Panasuk had been the immediate boss of Mr. Green and the other vice presidents of merchandising who were let go on Sept. 28. A&P announced that move on Sept. 6, when Chief Executive Officer and President Eric Claus said of Mr. Panasuk, "We thank Bob for his contribution to A&P in the U.S. and Canada over the past 10 years, and wish him the best in his future endeavors. While Mr. Green would not comment on his specific situation, he said that it is common knowledge that A&P has downsized significantly in recent months.
