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.Zanella Hnos. means Zanella Brothers, so the name is a family surname. The sources consulted do not describe the founders' biographies.
