One final post for the year to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! There will be no grand finale post this year and unfortunately no additional posts until next year. Once the holidays are over, I plan to get back to working on Acme Style. There have been far too many obstacles and distractions thrown my way over the past few months. I do believe better days are just ahead. Lots of good things yet to come to the blog! Posting will resume on January 16th. See you then!
Happy holidays to you as well!
ReplyDeleteProgressive Grocer posted an article last week stating that Safeway-Albertsons deal will result in 168 stores being sold off, all in western states. Most of them are going to Haggen, which is going from 18 stores to 164 stores! That's a huge undertaking.

No real overlap with Acme since Safeway closed up shop on Genuardi's. The only stores that stick out in my mind are north Wilmington, where Acme and Safeway are across the street from each other. The Acme and Safeway in Dover are probably far enough away from each other, as well as the Safeway in Glasgow and the Acme in Elkton.
