Food Basics was a no-frills discount supermarket chain owned and operated by The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company in the northeastern United States.

[4][5] In its early years, all of Food Basics' stores in the United States had been small former A&Ps.

[citation needed] In 2006, A&P made changes to the Food Basics model, opening a prototype store in Glassboro, New Jersey.

[citation needed] When A&P opted for liquidation in 2015, nine of the ten remaining Food Basics locations were sold to other operators.

Key Food purchased several of these stores and rebranded the Paterson and Glen Rock, New Jersey stores under the Super Fresh banner, which was the name of A&P’s Philadelphia-area chain and which Key Food acquired in the bankruptcy auction for the company’s intellectual properties.
