A&P Super Market Locations-San Diego Area-1959
Posted: 09 Feb 2011 05:05
A&P Super Markets had an advertisement in the San Diego Union of November 12, 1959. It touted the "100th Birthday Celebration" of "The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company" and "1859 America’s Dependable Food Merchant 1959".
Four locations were listed in the San Diego area:
(1) 54th and El Cajon – San Diego;
(2) 5th and Nutmeg – San Diego;
(3) 7829 Girard - La Jolla;
(4) 844 Orange Ave. - Coronado
The main promotion in the ad was for “Super-Right” Quality Cornish Cross Frying Chickens. U.S.D.A. Grade “A” whole bodied, 2½ to 3 lbs., for 29 cents per lb. The price for "split, quartered or cut up" was 31 cents per lb.
Who knew that A&P had a mini-empire in the southwestern corner of the country in the mid-20th century? Does anyone know if any chain took over these four stores from A&P?
