Analysis of Agreement Containing 

Consent Order to Aid Public Comment 

I. Introduction 

The Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has accepted for public 

comment, and subject to final approval, 

an Agreement Containing Consent 

Orders (‘‘Consent Agreement’’) from The 

Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, 

Inc. (‘‘A&P’’) and Pathmark Stores, Inc. 

(‘‘Pathmark’’). The purpose of the 

Consent Agreement is to remedy the 

anticompetitive effects that likely would 

result from A&P’s proposed $1.3 billion 

acquisition (a figure that includes the 

assumption of debt by A&P) of 

Pathmark, as alleged in the Complaint 

the Commission has issued. 

The Consent Agreement provides for 

relief in two markets where the 

Commission believes the proposed 

acquisition is anticompetitive. Under 

the terms of the Consent Agreement, 

A&P must divest four Waldbaum’s 

supermarkets and one Pathmark 

supermarket in Staten Island, New York, 

and one Waldbaum’s supermarket in 

Shirley, Long Island, New York. 

The Commission, A&P, and Pathmark 

have also agreed to an Order to Maintain 

Assets. This order requires A&P and 

Pathmark to maintain the assets 

required by the Consent Agreement to 

be divested, pending their divestiture. 

The investigation and settlement 

negotiations were conducted in close 

cooperation with the Office of the New 

York State Attorney General, which 

anticipates entering into an agreement 

with the parties that mirrors the 

proposed consent order divestitures. 

II. The Parties and the Transaction 

A&P is a corporation organized, 

existing, and doing business under and 

by virtue of the laws of the State of 

Maryland, with its office and principal 

place of business located at 2 Paragon 

Drive, Montvale, New Jersey 07645. The 

company owns and operates about 316 

supermarkets in the States of 

Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New
