A&P Offers Kosher Products at a Great Value for Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur Meal Planning

As Jewish families prepare for the upcoming Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur holidays, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (A&P) has what customers need to plan their holiday meals at a great value. A&P’s Own Brand lines include popular Kosher holiday staples, such as America’s Choice® honey and Green Way™ organic honey, as well as other key ingredients like apples and grape juice.

“With the High Holy Days approaching, A&P’s stores offer a wide range of Kosher product choices,” said Barry Eizik, Kosher Category Manager for A&P. “Our extensive Kosher selection demonstrates our commitment to meet the needs of Jewish customers throughout the year, especially as they prepare their holiday meals.”

Shoppers at A&P, Pathmark, Waldbaum’s, Superfresh and The Food Emporium stores serving Jewish communities throughout the tri-state area will find a wide variety of quality grocery selections at prices up to 30 percent lower than the equivalent national brand. To help customers easily locate these products, such as America’s Choice® seltzer and Via Roma™ imported pasta, an extensive Kosher Product Directory is available at select stores. In addition to the Kosher products listed in the directory, all stores carry a wide variety of Kosher-certified national brands all year round.

“A&P has demonstrated a renewed commitment to the kosher consumer,” says Rabbi Yaakov Horowitz, an internationally recognized kosher authority and senior member of the Orthodox Union. “The breadth of quality, Kosher-certified items available through A&P’s Own Brand program shows how much A&P cares about serving the Kosher customer.”

In addition to popular products needed for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur meal planning, A&P also continues to enhance and expand the variety of its Kosher offerings to include more fresh meat, fresh poultry, fresh deli, fresh dairy and fresh baked goods, working with both off-site suppliers and in-store bakeries and butchers.

Tom O’Boyle, A&P’s Executive Vice President of Merchandising, Marketing and Supply & Logistics, added: “With our enhanced assortment of Own Brand Kosher product offerings, we hope to continue building on our goal of being the Store of the Neighborhood in the Jewish communities we proudly serve.”
