Acme Bids for A&P Stores in Yorktown, Mohegan, Shrub Oak, Goldens Bridge

Struggling supermarket chain A&P will sell 120 of its stores and close 25 more as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing Monday, the company announced.

The trade publication Supermarket News writes that the company will sell its Hudson Valley stores in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties, and other nearby areas, to Acme Markets, Stop&Shop Supermarket Co. and Key Food Stores Co-Operative Inc.

Pennsylvania-based Acme is taking the lion share of those locations, as it buys 76 A&P, Pathmark, Waldbaum’s and Superfresh stores.

Acme currently operates 107 stores, including Sav-On Pharmacies at select locations, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. For more information, visit www.acmemarkets.com.

• Yorktown
• Thornwood
• Yonkers
• Mohegan Lake
• Croton
• Brewster
• Yonkers
• Goldens Bridge
• Bronxville
• Bedford
• Mahopac
• Millwood
• Rye
• Briarcliff

• Shrub Oak
• New Rochelle

In total, A&P has 296 stores. The fate of the other 151 stores was not immediately known, but the company has enlisted investment bank Evercore Partners to help it sell those locations, too.

“The vast majority of our stores remain open for business and we will continue to serve your shopping needs during this process,” the company stated.
