The following Acme has closed:
BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY
Location: 2200 Mount Holly Road, Burlington, NJ
This store was scheduled to close on February 16th. I don't have confirmation if it closed that exact date or a little earlier. The store was done in by an expanded Walmart in the same shopping center and a new ShopRite which opened in 2015 just down the road. For additonal coverage of the two former Burlington Acmes please click here.
This store may be a sign of things to come in NJ. Same-store sales are down at Acme and across all Safeway and Albertsons banners nationwide, plus Albertsons still cannot generate interest in its IPO--and now with sales in the negative territory, it seems unlikely they will get it done going forward.
