MONTVALE, N.J. — A&P here on Tuesday said it would ask U.S. Bankruptcy Court for permission to close 32 stores as part of its restructuring plan.

The stores — operating in six states under the Waldbaums, A&P, Pathmark and SuperFresh banners — would close during A&P’s fiscal first quarter, which begins next month. A&P announced a separate round of 25 store closings last year.

“While this was a very difficult decision that will unfortunately impact some of our customers, partners, communities and employees, these actions are absolutely necessary as we work to strengthen A&P’s operating foundation and improve our performance,” Sam Martin, chief executive officer of A&P, said in a statement.
