When did A&P leave Rhode Island?

I found this A&P filing report from 1994:
http://getfilings.com/o0000043300-94-000011.html
The report says there were 4 A&P location in RI
http://getfilings.com/o0000043300-96-000015.html
This filing from 1996 doesn't even mention the state of RI
So that would mean that A&P left the state sometime between 1994-1996
I found this old newspaper about A&P opening new stores (larger super stores) in the state. One of which being from 1986 and the other one being from the next year in 1987

The store from 1987 was apparently in Wyoming, RI (Richmond)
There was an old A&P in Wyoming but it was a centennial store:

Looking at the Google Street View I noticed that the enter & exit signs (which have since been replaced) had the old Stop & Shop logo on them (although its covered and kind of hard to make out):

Did A&P built their new store in Wyoming (RI) next to their older centennial location? And if that is true, would that mean that the newer store would later become a Stop & Shop?
Another thing worth noting is that according to the locations list for Newport, RI an A&P seems to be listed as having a location at 250 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI 02840 until 1981.
So when did A&P officially leave Rhode Island and close their last store in the state? And where were the newer, larger, super stores?
