"Supermarket News ranked A&P #28 in the 2012 "Top 75 Food Retailers and Wholesalers" based on 2012 fiscal year estimated sales of $6.7 billion. Based on 2009 revenue, A&P was the 34th largest retailer in the U.S. From 1915 through 1975, it was the largest food retailer in the nation (until 1965, the largest U.S. retailer of any kind). A&P is considered an American icon. The Wall Street Journal, in a blog post on December 10, 2010, said that "A&P was as well known as McDonald's or Google is today" and that A&P was "Walmart before Walmart.""
