Still No Answers For Old A&P Site On Naughright Road
Rumors have been flying around social media about the future of the site, but at this point, they're just rumors.
MOUNT OLIVE, NJ — Despite rumors swirling around on social media, there are still no definitive answers about the future of the old A&P space in Mount Olive.
Locals have been clamoring for a new supermarket since the A&P shuttered in late 2015. Online rumors claimed a new supermarket and gym would split the space, but Patch has been unable to confirm those rumors.
"At this time, we are not at liberty to discuss the rumors of the future tenants for this shopping center," Matt Grundy, a broker for Ripco Real Estate, which manages the shopping center, said. He said updates would be made available as soon as possible.

A representative for Aqui Supermarket, one of the rumored businesses, said they did not have any announcements regarding a Mount Olive location, but said they did currently have a location in Califon.
