The appointment of Kramer, a former executive at A&P chain Pathmark, is the latest senior appointment at the business.

In January, A&P named former Borders CEO Ron Marshall as its chief executive in a bid to reverse continued losses at the group.

Days before Marshall’s appointment, A&P had reported nine-month losses as a result of lower margins and one-time charges. For the 40 weeks ended 5 December, the New Jersey-based company’s losses from continuing operations widened to US$622.9m compared to $5.3m in the previous year.

A&P operates the Waldbaum’s, Pathmark, Best Cellars, The Food Emporium, Super Foodmart, Super Fresh, and Food Basics banners.
