Name originThe Imperatore brothers began as Imperatore Bros. Moving and Trucking in 1947, then bought the name and two trucks of A&P Trucking Corp. After legal wrangling with the A&P grocery chain in the 1950s, they added a trailing A to make A-P-A.The sources used do not explain the name. The badge pairs the word American with Coleman and names Littleton, Colorado as the home of the company.
