A & P Supermarket

Over the past year my local A &P has been stocking some gluten-free items such as Gluten Free Pantry mixes and cookies; so I wrote the headquarters in Montvale NJ a nice letter thanking them and asking for more stuff like Erewhon gluten-free and Glutino, etc. But thanking them profusely for adding gluten-free to their store.

Just last week mhy local A & P re-arranged their store and removed the entire gluten-free section! Removed as in no longer going to have gluten-free section! I spoke to someone there about it and they said that they'd find another spot for it but that was a week ago and it's still gone.

A & P (and I've been though other service issues with them over past few years) does not care about their customers and providing what their customers need; nor do they care when told. I guess I'll have to do my shopping at Shop Rite now as they have just isolated a section of their store with gluten-free foods.

I hear ya! My local Acme did the exact same thing. When they remodeled the store just before the holidays, the gluten free items just dissapeared.

I'm lucky that I have other stores around that carry lots of gluten-free foods--but they are still a bit of a drive. The Acme is right here in my town.

I know...I love that store, but it's a 20 minute drive. (and worth it!)

But, it was nice to have Gluten Free Pantry items at the Acme since it is so close. I guess I can't really complain though--I'm going to Wegman's later

Deb--Our Shoprite has a small gluten-free aisle, too. Not the greatest selection--but it actually saved me at the holidays. I had been to Wegman's, Whole Foods and the health food store and they were all out of the GFP pie crust mix. I stopped at Shoprite, not really expecting to find it, and they had several! It was funny because they only carry about 5 or 6 GFP products.

Our Acme right next door closed last October and we're lost without it just for regular groceries

Patti:

by the way, is the Kenny Chesney song about "Alcohol" on any album?

I'm not sure which song you mean...Kenny Chesney does a lot of songs that deal with alcohol, but none that I know of with that title.

There is a song called "Alcohol"--it's by Brad Paisley. It's on the album called "Time Well Wasted".
