The Food Emporium of New Canaan is scheduled to close for business at 10 p.m. Monday.

A sign posted at the store announced it will reopen at 7 a.m. Friday, Oct. 23 as an Acme Market, according to The New Canaan Advertiser.

The New Canaan store was part of the sale of dozens of stores sold by A&P in July as part of a bankruptcy proceeding.

The two Greenwich stores were sold in July by A&P after the grocery company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Days later Acme Markets announced it would acquire 76 A&P stores in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania under the A&P, Food Emporium and Pathmark banners.

The two Greenwich stores are scheduled to reopen at 7 a.m. Oct. 21 as Acme Markets.
