A&P WEO

ImageI took this Kodachrome in 1972. It answers the question, "Where DOES Economy Originate?"

The answer: between two pawnshops!

The financial problems really didn't begin until they ran out of power tools to hock! :)

A store that small operating in 1972? I think that's a sign as to why A&P is clinging to life.

A&P still operated smaller, urban stores into the 70's. Remember the sales per square unit were considerable, so they kept them in operation, just like the French Quarter A&P which survived Katrina, continues to do.
