Nationwide, Walmart gained a dominant position in the grocery industry, forcing much of the competition to downsize, though in A&P's core Northeast region, Walmart still had not become a major grocery competitor. In 2003, after declaring its largest loss, A&P closed Kohl's Food Stores and A&P's remaining stores in Vermont and New Hampshire,[40] reducing it to just over 500 stores.[21] Also in 2003, A&P spun off the Eight O'Clock Coffee division (its last manufacturing operation) to Gryphon Investors for $107 million.[10] (In 2006, Gryphon sold Eight O'Clock Coffee to Tata Global Beverages for $220 million).[41] PICTURE: By GRUBBXDN - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=44328832 WATCH AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzyAwZGTgAdonBKhTxUiC2Q
