I wonder if the locations that Acme took over with the beams and odd shelving they were able to sell... if they sold all of them, they might be able to supply the rest of the remaining unremodeled stores with new decor.

I'm happy to support independent grocers! :)<br /><br />I agree that they probably aren't ready for another location, and I have to admit, they did do a LOT of renovating on this store. Hopefully the Clinton location won't be back in business just yet! They're only offering $5mil for that place-- surprising considering it's in pristine condition, and has existing cases and such inside I'm pretty sure (They were never sold at the Liquidation Sale I was at). <br /><br />Also, if you do have the chance, the Washington A&P is one of the few stores to receive the "Fresh 3.0" renovation, so if you have the chance, I'd reccomend stopping there for fun! It's really interesting seeing the wood beams above produce. I found the company that made them, and lets say... they're very pricey. (at least 10 grand...)Lucas M.

My intent was to highlight the differences between this Aquí location and the others, and to emphasize that the proportion of the population this chain traditionally serves is not prominent in this location. I have changed the wording of that section to clarify. I'm sorry if I wrote anything potentially offensive or misleading.supermarket_fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981021586477207157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-70424276821582059582018-01-26T18:07:05.279-05:002018-01-26T18:07:05.279-05:00"About 1.3% of Califon's population is Hi..."About 1.3% of Califon's population is Hispanic, or about 14 people!"<br /><br />This store serves an extremely rural area, from Long Valley to High Bridge. Califon to Warren County. It's very much welcomed here.<br />To suggest it serves 14 people is ridiculous. And BTW, what makes you think only Hispanic people buy Hispanic food?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340962639213011051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-56050492404692833032018-01-26T16:27:00.905-05:002018-01-26T16:27:00.905-05:00I heard that the family that owns it lives in a ne...I heard that the family that owns it lives in a neighboring town, so it makes sense that they'd take over this location.<br /><br />Given the fact that Aquí is a relatively small operation, they probably are not in the market for another location right now, especially with the extensive renovations they did here. So you'll probably still get the chance to stop by Clinton!supermarket_fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981021586477207157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-58534357537127309032018-01-24T15:30:04.618-05:002018-01-24T15:30:04.618-05:00Nice job on Aqui's part.

I live around an hour away from this store, it's the third closest A&P location (The first being Washington Twp, and second being Clinton), and surprised that they bought this place! Hopefully they won't take over the Clinton A&P-- I want to get a few abandoned pictures, and maybe get the last store directory off of the one cart that is still there :)Lucas M.
