    1. I was just about to post that link here! Beat me to it! By any chance, are you subscribed to ACME's YouTube channel? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here that is...

  3. A new Walmart Supercenter has opened in the former Ports/ Boscovs/ Steve & Barrys location in Franklin Mills mall at Philadelphia, PA, and its connected to franklin mills via a small corridor at the left entrance. It relocated from a former carrefour that closed in 1994 and split with the now-relocated walmart, dicks, and raymour and flannigan. I wonder how the Pathmark SAC and the Bristol PIke Acme will handle the new walmart

  4. I think the Pathmark SAC will feel the business pinch more than the Woodhaven Acme.

  5. A new Shoprite is opening at the former Kmart location 1/2 mile from the Burlington Acme on Route 541. Hopefully, the Acme can compete as it's a very nice store.

    This store is already dealing with an expanded Walmart in the same shopping center, and a Target that added groceries about 3/4 mile down the road.

    1. According to the Metro Newspaper, ALDI will be buying 66 of their stores, and more than 40 will close altogether. While we have shopped there only once, I can say that I will miss them. This is mainly because all of their stores feel so new, and I really love their radio ads. Bottom Dollar Piggy Bank Balloon Guy was a stroke of genius.
