When were the first and last A&P Centennials built?

I recall reading that A&P built its Centennial stores from 1959 to 1969. However, I was curious if anybody knows of any Centennials built outside of this period?
I am 100% percent certain that the first Centennial opened prior to 1959. That's because I went to the Ohio Grocery website/message board and saw a grand opening advertisement of the Wickliffe, OH Centennial A&P Supermarket. The date of this advertisement is September 10, 1957.
I also have a hard time believing that no Centennials were built in the 1970's. Any insight into this topic would be greatly appreciated.
