Former Acme Pick of the Day!
Location: 115 North Fayette Street, Shippensburg PA
Opening day was January 16, 1963. Closing date unknown. These pitched-roof stores always look smaller after the glass fronts are replaced with solid materials. Red cinderblock was put in where the windows used to be. Looks like there was just a single delivery door for produce. The angled awning most certainly added when the original one was removed.
This was a small version of the pitched-roof stores. You can see the break room and bathrooms were on the first floor instead of up on a mezzanine.
Parking lot sign pole remains with no sign whatsoever.
This place had the typical gigantic parking lot which you can see better in the aerial photo below...
Former Acme to the left. The high-res view of this area cuts off right at the corner of the Acme which is why you're not seeing the whole parking lot. Former A&P to the right...
It too has a signless pole remaining in the parking lot. This photo is from Google street views. Street views are not available on Google for Fayette Street.
Thanks to Shawn for sending in pictures of the Shippensburg Acme!
Just for the record, the former Andover A&P (which you posted earlier) also has a signless pole, now rusted.
ReplyDeleteThis store looks to have been a twin of the Shickshinny, PA location featured in Acme Style on 11/09/09; the artist's rendering of that store suggests that, while small in size, these were modern, attractive supermarkets!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you post anymore??
ReplyDeleteCurrently too busy with other things
Deletewhen is the next time you are planning on posting?
DeleteStop asking. It's rude. You already asked once, he answered you (which he probably went out of his way to do), and you now are asking again. What you are doing is called "badgering".
DeleteWhat does it matter? Are the posting lapses really affecting you that much? It never ceases to amaze me how many people are socially inept.
ReplyDeleteI wonder the same questions, but there's a simple explanation why so many Internet users (both on this site and others are socially inept). It's an explanation though that I really shouldn't post on this site because it would be offensive.
