Acme Markets’ reopening of a South Philadelphia store last week is part of a broader comeback strategy the company is waging to boost its well-known but tarnished brand.
Jim Perkins, who was named president of the Malvern, Pa.-based supermarket chain in February 2013, said new ownership has meant Acme is making changes more quickly and once again investing profits back into the stores. He made his comments last week as Acme was unveiling a remodeled store at 10th and Reed streets.
Upgrades are planned for stores in Willingboro, N.J.; Devon, Pa.; and Chestertown, Md. A store in Beach Haven, N.J., will be razed and rebuilt after the summer season.
