Union: A&P jobs are safe at four South Jersey grocery stores

President says workers will keep jobs at four stores to be acquired by Acme

The president of a food workers union has said that employees at four South Jersey grocery stores owned by A&P will keep their jobs after Acme buys the stores.

The news affects 509 workers whose jobs were at risk after A&P went bankrupt in July, the Press of Atlantic City wrote.

A&P is selling or shutting down all of its stores, which include Super Fresh, Food Basics and Pathmark.

Acme plans to buy 76 of those stores across the Eastern seaboard, including four in South Jersey: the Pathmark in Ventnor and the Super Fresh stores in North Wildwood, Ocean City and Manahawkin. It said that it will try to re-hire a significant number of former employees.

“Acme will take over these and we believe it will be a seamless transition. All our members will continue to work” in the South Jersey stores, union president Brian String told the paper.
