We explicitly construct A-type orientifolds of supersymmetric Gepner models.In order to reduce the tadpole cancellation conditions to a treatable number weexplicitly work out the generic form of the one-loop Klein bottle, annulus andMoebius strip amplitudes for simple current extensions of Gepner models.Equipped with these formulas, we discuss two examples in detail to provideevidence that in this setting certain features of the MSSM like unitary gaugegroups with large enough rank, chirality and family replication can beachieved.Comment: 37 pages, TeX (harvmac), minor changes, typos corrected, to appear in JHE
