The banner is down and the official sign is up. It's big, bold and beautiful! The delay was apparently due to local ordinances dictating sign size although, in the end, Acme wasn't forced to put an embarrassingly small sign on the store like they had to do in Montclair. With the ACME sign finally installed on the store front, we'll take one more look at the evolution of this location...
Acme opened here on October 12, 1966.

ReplyDeleteSo glad they decided to let them put a normal sign up instead of a Montclair-sized one. Looks so much better.
ReplyDeleteI think this store is the nicest looking in the chain now! The sign makes a huge difference, and the architecture is beautiful.
