The Food Emporium
The Food Emporium is a chain of upscale grocery stores originally part of Shopwell Inc. Acquired in 1986 by A&P, it operates approximately 30 stores in the New York City Metropolitan area, including many stores in Manhattan and stores in New Jersey and Fairfield County, CT. Many of the stores in the New York City boroughs were converted from A&P stores when the parent company decided to re-brand all its NYC stores as The Food Emporium and Waldbaum's.
