Originating in Brooklyn, Waldbaum's was a family-owned supermarket until its purchase by A&P in 1986. The Waldbaum family initially focused on the five boroughs, later expanding out to Long Island. Eventually, some legacy A&P locations in the city and Long Island were converted to the Waldbaum's banner, and a few Waldbaum's locations opened and then shortly thereafter converted to A&P in New Jersey.
What happened to the Waldbaum's stores that closed in 2015? Of the 48 stores that closed that fall, 41 are still supermarkets and seven are something else. Take a look at all the locations here. You can use the list below to navigate to a certain location, or scroll through the page to see them all.
Note: there were more Waldbaum's stores that closed prior to the chain's final bankruptcy in 2015. This is only a list of the stores still in operation at the time of the bankruptcy.
