More than 8,000 employees at New Jersey A&P grocery stores will be released from their jobs on Nov. 26 – Thanksgiving Day – this year, according to WARN notices filed by the company last week.

The Bergen County-based supermarket chain announced earlier this year it would be filing for bankruptcy.  Many store locations were purchased by other companies, including ACME Markets, Inc., Ahold’s Stop & Shop Supermarket Co., and Key Food Stores Co-operative Inc.
