Kramer Out at A&P: Sources

MONTVALE, N.J. — Mark Kramer, hired only months ago to lead operations at A&P here, has left the organization, sources told SN Tuesday.

MONTVALE, N.J. — Mark Kramer, hired only months ago to lead operations at A&P here, has left the organization, sources told SN Tuesday.

Kramer’s departure follows that of Ron Marshall, the chief executive officer hired in February who abruptly left last month when Sam Martin was hired in Marshall’s place. Sources speaking on the condition of anonymity told SN that Kramer was leaving so that Martin could hire his own executive team.

Observers in April lauded the hiring of Kramer, who was expected to be a key figure between A&P’s headquarters and store teams at Pathmark struggling amid procedural changes enacted after A&P took over. Kramer had previously served at Pathmark for 20 years and more recently worked as an operations vice president at RiteAid.

A&P officials were not immediately available for comment.
