  • 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.

Hall Second Reader: ______________________________ Dr. Lee Herrington Honors Director: ______________________________ William M. Shields, Ph.D. Date: ______________________________ Abstract Food security is defined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as access by all members of the household to enough food to live an active, healthy life at all times [1]. Food security has also been identified as an important public health concern, subsequently amplifying interest in identifying communities with limited accessibility to quality food retailers. The primary focus of this analysis was to identify communities of heightened food security concern in Syracuse, NY based on three measures of physical accessibility: proximity to the nearest grocer, diversity of grocers within 1km, and variety of grocers based on the average distance to the three nearest grocers; and social deprivation.

  • 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.
