The decor in general was odd, because the graphic panels on the wall fixtures were prone to falling down. They were eventually fixed with actual screws.RobbyCoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980081840176014962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-76292866855268514292018-02-13T20:19:54.692-05:002018-02-13T20:19:54.692-05:00Hey, I guess it's better than what some of the...Hey, I guess it's better than what some of the converted Acmes...<br />https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XTLVmt84Wsk/WhyyLqCW_EI/AAAAAAAAkNw/s-e8wACRAZMg6lRtKkFnYhgg9-lMkaKNQCLcBGAs/s1600/acme_style_montclair_nj_72.jpg<br />At least at Food Bazaar, you know nothing comes after "Thank You For Shopping"...<br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/142408586@N05/28580735241/in/album-72157669536366416/supermarket_fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981021586477207157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-62517381068263526112018-02-12T16:35:46.251-05:002018-02-12T16:35:46.251-05:00When I went to this store a while ago, I was as ba...When I went to this store a while ago, I was as baffled as you guys about the blue Acme logo.Spectrum270https://www.blogger.com/profile/04498133359038055655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-79978678912406833352017-11-27T15:56:50.674-05:002017-11-27T15:56:50.674-05:00Thanks for all the info!

Many of the stores around here are old enough that they have old cases, or are independent stores which don't bother to spend the money on customizations like that.<br /><br />You're right, the category markers do look like PF&H. And I have no idea about the color of that Acme logo!<br /><br />Hmm, I never noticed the excess of carts at any other Acme. The Elizabeth Pathmark (where Food Bazaar now is) always had too few carts, because they sold a lot of them to make a little extra money and the rest were stolen. Doing large shopping orders there was frustrating for that and so many other reasons! So I appreciate that Acme leans in the other direction.supermarket_fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981021586477207157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-30581209877350169112017-11-23T09:50:09.368-05:002017-11-23T09:50:09.368-05:00Few thoughts on this one, supermarketfan.

Acme uses a generic "ACME" lettering on the refrigerator cases in all their stores. My local location, Doylestown, has around 5 of these. I'm pretty sure the company that they buy them from doesn't have the option to use the real logo. I've seen other stores with this before, too.<br /><br />2. The aisle/category markers you saw are most likely from a SuperValu store. They're most likely a cheap replacement version; the type looks very similar to PF&H. Before the Quality Built remodel at Doylestown, they had some of these in the organic section, if I remember correctly.<br /><br />3. Why is the interior Acme logo along the front end BLUE? <br /><br />4. The reason this store probably has so many carts is that practically all Acmes do. My Doylestown location has around twice as much, and actually leak into the Rite Aid down the street. Lucas M. Finzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167881018411047352noreply@blogger.com
