Update: ACME Markets - Greenwich, CT

ACME Markets Opened: November 2015 Owner:  Albertsons Companies Previous Tenants:  A&P (1960s-2015) Cooperative:  none Location:  160 W Putnam Ave, Greenwich, CT Photographed:  January 24, 2025 We're returning to the ACME of Greenwich, CT, a small former A&P of just around 21,000 square feet. (For ACME, that's small, but it's obviously quite a bit bigger than the small NYC stores we're also seeing this weekend!) You can check out my previous, very short, post on the store here . It's directly across the street from an equally small Grand Union-turned-Stop & Shop . Now, ACME has announced they're closing this store in early October.

(Did you see my post at 151 E Tremont ?) This one is in the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx, where we most recently saw the opening of the Ogden Market Center in a former Rite Aid just three blocks from this store. This is an old-school store that's recently gotten a major upgrade. And another ASG store, which as I mentioned is on a roll lately. It's around 9500 square feet, and although I'm not completely certain of the building's history, it looks like the first supermarket on this site was a Pioneer opening in 1985. It became a Met Fresh around 2012, returning to Pioneer in 2016 or 2017. Not sure how many times it changed ownersh...
