Re: A&P's Coffee Brands

After A&P left Ohio and other markets in the 1980's, their Eight O'Clock coffee brand was starting to be carried by the chain's former competition, however, the bags don't bear the A&P logo, and is sold by Compass Foods, an A&P subsidiary. I think Procter and Gamble recently purchased the Eight O'Clock brand (selling it alongside its Folgers and Millstone brands), as A&P was divesting. A&P's other coffee brands were Red Circle (carried in either yellow or red bags) and Bokar (sold in black bags). I think Eight O'Clock was a medium roast, while Red Circle was a mild roast and Bokar, a dark roast-correct me if I'm wrong. Now the mild and dark roasts are under various Eight O'Clock labels. --Previous Message--
