A&P's first Richmond location opened in 1881 at 709 East Broad Street. That building was torn down in
2004 to make way for the new U.S. Courthouse. By 1884, they had two stores in Richmond, and their store count remained at
two until around 1915. By 1916, they had 6 stores in Richmond, which increased to 30 stores by 1921 and a whopping 69 stores
in 1926. The store count dropped to 40 in 1931, but went up to 44 in 1941, before the closing of the many small "economy"
A&P stores and the beginnings of their venture into supermarkets.
By 1951, there were 15 A&Ps in Richmond, and this count stayed somewhat stable for the rest of their
stay in Richmond, although they did acquire 10 Pantry Pride locations in the early 1980's and operated them under the Pantry
Pride name for a time.
A&P was granted concessions from their union in 1986 to stay in Richmond, and their stores were converted
to the Super Fresh format; later some were converted once again to the Farmer Jack format. They had 10 stores in Richmond
when they closed their Richmond operations on January 30, 1999.
A&P also had warehouse, distribution, and bakery operations in Richmond, the largest of which opened
in 1948 on Jefferson Davis Highway in South Richmond.
