Original Tenant: ACME Markets Address: 281 NJ-10, Succasunna, Roxbury, NJ Opened:  1970s Closed:  1998 Later Tenants:  Linens N Things > vacant/subdivided Photographed:  July 2020 We arrive at the Roxbury Mall in the Succasunna section of Roxbury Township for two stores today, the first being this approximately 36,000 square foot former ACME that was built with the strip mall in the 1970s.

The ACME closed in 1998, and at that time the ShopRite was expanded to its current size. Notice the similarity in facade design to Byram , which is about six miles to the northwest. RoNetco Supermarkets, whose original location was in Netcong (and believe it or not the existing Netcong store is their third in town), has eight stores today and we'll actually be seeing all of them this time around (if we haven't already).
