Location: 100 Black Horse Pike, Audubon, NJ
One of the coolest Acmes out there in undergoing an extensive remodel. You can see here that significant work is being done in the service departments section of the store. Lots of new cases are being installed as well. The new lighting and removal of the hanging lattice was probably done a while ago.
One common change that seems to be happening in these remodels is the removal of the fresh bread displays that used to face the entrance in favor of cake displays.
Chalkboard Market décor coming down with Quality Built going up!
This store began it's life as a Penn Fruit which explains the arched ceiling over the grocery aisles. Here we see an aisle has been removed to make way for a double wide. Acme has been doing this in some of the converted stores. One side is chips and snacks with the other being water and energy drinks. Plenty of room for displays down the middle.

Our Audubon contributor will be sending in more pictures when the remodel is complete.
Ah, the barrel roof. Is there any more identifiable design with the grocery store than that?
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be a pain to change all the lights in the tall section haha
ReplyDeleteThey also did a facelift on the Acme in Saddle Brook, NJ.
ReplyDeleteHow extensive was it?
DeleteNew aisle markers, new paint job, new department signage as well as new "Thank You For Shopping" signage
DeleteWas just at Audubon today. The "Quality Built" decor looks great, and I hope Safeway rolls this our on every Acme. Nice to see a pharmacy without the Sav-On branding. A few complaints: 1. If you enter on the right side, you either turn left into the checkout counters, or run straight into Floral. 2. The barrel roof makes the building looked huge from the outside, but it really feels small (compared to Runnemede or Voorhees) on the inside. 3. The old, scratched-up tile floors from the "Chalkboard Market" decor havery seen better days. Other than that, good on Safeway for injecting new life into an old store.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. The service departments looked good with the previous décor but the rest of the store was drab and colorless. Quality Builr is ALL Albertsons.
