I remember the smell of fresh ground coffee at every checkout line. A&P was just decades ahead of the coffee boom. I was looking for an image of the classic old A&P logo and found this whole story about what has happened to the chain. Could management have made a worse set of decisions? Thank goodness the Eight O'Clock Coffee brand escaped to live on. As a business coach and mentor, I’ve read many business case histories, but this one has a personal connection.
