A & P Food Store

The A&P is on average a dollar more per lb in the produce section than the Shop-Rite on 46 in Rockaway. The other items are even higher. The A&P is clean but it is literally a rip-off. I only shop there when I have no choice. Because after shopping there for a year and then going to the Shop-Rite and seeing the difference it made in my wallet I will drive to the Shop-Rite. Their customer service center is the worst I have experienced. I had a 500 western union and they refused to cash it. Gave me a check. They were not nice and said it caused problems for bookeeping so they give checks... more

The knock on all NJ A&P stores used to be that they were expensive, sloppy and staffed by people who didn't care if you shopped there or not. I have to tell you that I worked for ShopRite as a kid and my store (in Fort Lee) was head and shoulders better than the local A&P stores. In fact, we hired a guy away from A&P and he told us sad stories about how the chain was run. End of history lesson - the new Denville A&P is really well run. The place is clean, well stocked, has decent pricing and a caring staff (I love working with Fred in the deli department - sharp guy). The variety is good. They have a good produce department and the meat department is very good. I shop at this store every week and have to drive past Key Foods here (a very sad little store). Give them a shot - A&P has put together a winner. more
