It would make sense that somebody would need to be in my advanced age bracket, or close, to remember A&P grocery stores, recall tagging along to one with your mom and whining when she wouldn’t buy another box of Oreos.
At one time, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company was the largest retailer in the nation (From 1915 until ‘65). And remained the biggest grocery chain for another decade.
Then, as things do, it faded away in the midst of competition.
Kind of like the PAC12, 11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2.
Why have I led with this?
Because the leading snarky moniker for the expanding now bicoastal ACC among the talking heads at The World Wide Leader (Non-Spectrum Edition) and other college sports pundits is All Coast Conference.
