A&P returned to bankruptcy protection Sunday evening with plans to find buyers to save most of its stores. But the supermarket chain plans to immediately axe about two dozen underperforming stores. Could one of them be yours?

Court papers filed Monday show that A&P is hoping to keep most of its stores open by closing “as many going concern sales of their 297 stores as possible.” But in the meantime, it’s asking a New York bankruptcy judge to let it quickly close 25 underperforming stores that have sustained “significant operating losses.” By closing the stores, A&P says it expects to obtain about $20 million in savings and generate about $48 million in sale proceeds.

The 25 underperforming stores that A&P is seeking to immediately close are located in:

  • Claymont
  • Wilmington

  • East Brunswick
