A&P Private Labels

This is driving me crazy. Can anybody remember the name for A&P's private label tea. This would have been the era from the 1950s-1970s. Thanks!

Red Dot Stores

Thanks for the info!

That makes a lot of sense. The Giant Marts in Manchester and Talbotton were managed by the same person who lived in that area. The one in Waverly Hall was managed by someone else. I appreciate your help answering the question.

Info about Giant Mart???

Does anyone know much about the small town chain Giant Mart? They opened in the early 1980s in Manchester, Georgia, which I think was the first one. They expanded over much of the 1980s.
