NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING
AND REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES

New York Stock Exchange LLC (the 'Exchange' or the
'NYSE') hereby notifies the SEC of its intention to
remove the entire class of Common Stock and 9 3/8%
Senior Quarterly Interest Bonds due August 1, 2039
(QUIBS) (the Securities') of The Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company, Inc  (the 'Company') from listing and
registration on the Exchange at the opening of business
on March 7, 2011, pursuant to the provisions of
Rule 12d2-2(b), because, in the opinion of the Exchange,
the Securities are no longer suitable for continued listing
and trading on the Exchange.  The Exchange's action is
being taken in view of the Company's December 12, 2010
announcement that it has filed a voluntary petition under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the timing
and outcome of the bankruptcy process, as well as the
ultimate effect of this process on the Company?s common
stockholders.

1.  The Exchange's Listed Company Manual (the 'LCM'),
subsection 802.01D (Bankruptcy and/or Liquidation),
states that the Exchange would normally give consideration
to suspending or removing from the list a security of a
company when an 'intent to file under any of the sections
of the bankruptcy law has been announced or a filing has
been made or liquidation has been authorized and the
company is committed to proceed.'

2. The Exchange, on December 12, 2010, determined that
the Securities of the Company should be suspended
immediately from trading, and directed the preparation and
filing with the Commission of this application for the removal
of the Securities from listing and registration on the Exchange.
The Company was notified by letter on December 13, 2010.

3.  Pursuant to the above authorization, a press release was
immediately issued and an announcement was made on the
'ticker' of the Exchange at the opening and at the close of the
trading session on December 13, 2010 of the suspension of
trading in the Securities. Similar information was included on
the Exchange's website.

4. The Company had a right to appeal to the Committee for
Review of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation the
determination to delist its Securities, provided that it filed
a written request for such a review with the Secretary of the
Exchange within ten business days of receiving notice of
delisting determination.  The Company did not file such
request within the specified time period.
