Quality Built Remodel In Paoli!



Location: 39 Leopard Road, Paoli, PA



The Paoli Acme held its Grand Reopening on Friday, February 24! The store now includes a Starbucks and Frosted Mug. Paoli is one of Acme's top performing stores and one of their most deluxe locations, even prior to the recent remodel.


Most photos you will be seeing are from and anonymous source. A few others were sent in by @ in early December. Those photos show the Quality Built décor swap complete so I'm not exactly sure why the Grand Reopening was delayed until February. Could have possibly been due to the completion of the Frosted Mug and/or Starbucks.






Had a Starbucks been here previously? The store opened in 1999 with the Chalkboard Market décor. It's interesting that the remodels of smaller stores of that era had Starbucks added in but the newly built stores did not, as far as I know.




New lighting has been installed in many areas of the store.

Like in other remodels we've seen lately, the Salad Bar has been relocated from the side wall to a free-standing case. Not sure what is now in the spot of the original Salad Bar.

Looks like some new cases were installed in the service area of the Meat Department.


Former Bistro seating is now the Frosted Mug's beer-on-tap bar.

Not sure if new cases were installed or not. I believe these photos are from two different aisles.

And not sure of the fate of the front corner here. When I visited the store, the front wall was pretty much dead space filled with chip displays. I'm sure the space has been better utilized now that the Frosted Mug ate up a full aisle of grocery.

  1. Interesting to see the Sav-On branding at the pharmacy remained!

    1. I came here to write the same thing!

      As far as I know, this is the first "Quality Built" remodel to use the Sav-On name.

    2. Not the first. Red Lion's Quality Built remodel has Sav-On as well.

  2. The a la carte cafe island was removed. That's where the new salad and hot bar went.
