Especially hard hit was A&P, which in another massive sell-off saw its stock fall by more than 20% to close at $8.82, a new 52-week low. Other food retail stocks falling Monday included Arden Group (down 9.2%); Winn-Dixie (down 4.61%); Kroger (down 4.12%); and Supervalu (down 3.96%). The Dow Jones Industrials were down by more than 500 points Monday, the biggest one-day point decline since Sept. 17, 2001.
