Acme opens Jersey Shore stores

Acme continued its recent comeback with the opening of a 50,000 square foot store in Barnegat, NJ in a location vacated by Genuardi's in 2012. Acme now has 178 stores across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, New York and Connecticut.

The opening in Barnegat, a Jersey Shore town, follows the opening of a store five miles away in a former Super Fresh location in Manahawkin, as well as the re-opening and expansion of Acme's store on Long Beach Island, about 11 miles away.
