Raise a glass to The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, a name woven into more than a century of American grocery history. From its early tea and coffee trade in New York City to a nationwide era of economy stores and supermarkets, A&P helped define how generations shopped. This pint glass brings that neighborhood-market nostalgia to cookouts, game nights, home bars, and everyday pours. A fitting collectible for anyone who remembers the stores or loves classic retail history.
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, known as A&P, was an American grocery chain operating from 1859 to 2015. George Gilman began the business as Gilman & Company in New York City, entering the tea and coffee trade in 1859. It became the Great American Tea Company in 1863, and the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company was created in 1869 to promote prepackaged Thea-Nector tea. The chain grew through stores, mail order, wagon routes, private brands, and premiums. Under the Hartford family, A&P introduced economy stores in 1912 and reached 1,600 stores by 1915. It added meat and produce after World War I, opened supermarkets beginning in 1933, and operated 4,000 supermarkets by 1950. A&P was the nation’s largest grocery retailer from 1915 through 1975. Later banners and acquisitions included Family Mart, Super Fresh, Waldbaum’s, The Food Emporium, Farmer Jack, and Pathmark. Following bankruptcies and divestitures, the final A&P stores closed in 2015.
A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
