A&P (Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company), was an American chain of grocery stores. Originally named "Gilman & Company", started in 1859 by George Gilman in New York City, as a small chain of tea and coffee stores in New York City. They opened their first grocery store in 1912. By 1930, the Hartford family, which managed and owned A&P, (by way of an unwritten partnership agreement where Gilman gave George Hartford, half of the company in 1878), had opened up almost 16,000 more stores. They went on to become the largest grocery retail in the US, (1915 through 1975). At one time, they were the largest U.S. retailer of any kind. They went out of business in 2015.
