The Market Report

Original Tenant: A&P Address: 537 W Nicholson Rd, Audubon, NJ Opened:  1960s Closed:  unknown Later Tenants:  senior center Photographed:  January 2021 Quick look here at the instantly-recognizable former centennial A&P here in Audubon.

Acme Style first covered the store in 2014, including an impressive photo of the Penn Fruit around its opening. In November 2016, they documented the beginning of a Quality Built renovation here, which of course was finished by my January 2021 visit. And any regular reader of my blogs will know that I love a good arched-roof store, such as yesterday's . In this one, roughly half the store's space is in flat-roof expansions, but as we'...
