The agreement is subject to further terms and conditions set forth therein and subject to court approval in A&P's bankruptcy case filed on July 19, 2015, which include the potential of a subsequent auction under which other higher bid or bids could be received and accepted by A&P for these stores.  The agreement is also conditioned on regulatory requirements, including expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. "Stop & Shop is always looking for convenient locations to better serve our customers," says Don Sussman, Stop & Shop's New York Metro Division president. "We are very happy to have the opportunity to expand our presence in greater New York and serve new customers.  We look forward to providing customers with delivering unmatched selection, quality and value that they have come to expect from Stop & Shop." Upon completion of the transaction, Stop & Shop plans to convert these Waldbaum's, Pathmark and A&P stores into Stop & Shop stores.  Additional details regarding the conversions will be announced at a later date.  The sale is currently expected to close within the second half of 2015.
