Editor’s note: This story incorrectly reported the areas Farmer Jack’s owner, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., is leaving. In fact, it is not leaving the Maryland and Washington, D.C., markets.

Farmer Jack will cease to exist by 6 p.m. today following a long battle for survival in metro
Detroit that will end with 45 stores changing hands and 21 closing their doors — including several
in wealthy suburban neighborhoods.
