Deluxe remodel here! The store previously had the first, deluxe round of the Premium Fresh and Healthy package. The store now has the Quality Built décor and had its grand reopening last Friday. The exterior of the store didn't get any much needed love. It still has the same look seen in the first photo of this post.


I believe the faux hardwood floors are brand new.


Corner Deli is cream here instead of blue.






The store may have been significantly reconfigured during this remodel. People are complaining online that the aisles are much more narrow.











Some "before" photos...









Jenkintown is the only other store I've seen that with this curved ceiling above the front-end. You can check it out here.


Thanks Sarah L and others for posting these great photos on yelp!

Sailsbury Sign Swap!

Location: 751 S Salisbury Blvd, Salisbury, MD

Pictures have come in of the signs going up at the Salisbury Acme. These photos are from a new Acme Style contributor who will be keeping us updated with photos and news as this store becomes an Acme. As I predicted, a décor swap IS happening to the interior.

Update 9.6.16: Sign at the road is now complete!

Acme – Rehoboth, Delaware

Pictures of the Rehoboth Acme, a former SuperFresh, came in from two different contributors over the past week. Both Justin and Marv gave the store rave reviews. The Quality Built décor arrived here about two months ago. 

This is the first time I've seen this O Organics signage in the windows. Acme is pushing their private label products more than ever before. It's interesting how grocers are transforming their own products from just being a cheaper alternative to national brands into a reason to shop at their stores specifically for these products. Acme has been heavily promoting their Signature Style ice cream and Italian sparkling water, among others. Signage, displays, extremely low sale prices and store announcements all helping to bring attention to Acme new private labels. 

"Beach" has lost its "a". Will it ever be replaced?

Acme kept A&P's lighting fixtures above the Floral Department. Some stores hang plants from these structures. It doesn't look like Floral got a new coat of paint. You can check out pictures of this store previous to the décor swap by clicking here.


A&P's flooring remains throughout.

Slim pickins of cakes which seems to be a problem with Acme lately. Interesting since their commercials often feature their cake selection. 

In many stores, Acme is installing black shelving for the seasonal aisles and the health food aisles.

Major upgrades in the restrooms.




Now you see it...


Now you don't. It's too bad the logo is so easily scraped off the cart handles.
