Pathmark to Close Long Island Store

MONTVALE, N.J. — A&P here plans to close its Pathmark store in East Meadow, N.Y. when its lease expires in May, officials said.

In a notice filed with state labor officials, A&P said 118 workers would be affected by the closure. The 80,000-square-foot store had been operating at the East Meadow Mall for 35 years.

Local reports said the store’s landlord felt the store was losing customers to a nearby Waldbaums, also operated by A&P.
