Acme | Media, PA

Welcome to the Media Acme!

Hello again, and welcome back to The Retail Connection! For today's post, we'll be checking out this Acme store in downtown Media. The store opened in 1964 as a "Colonial Cottage" style store. It was extensively remodeled in the early 2000's, expanding into the former Eckerd drug store next door and getting this new façade. Inside, the store has the latest Acme décor, Quality Built. Let's check it out!

Heading in through the pharmacy entrance...

HABA and the pharmacy are in the front right corner. Even though it's been expanded, the store is still relatively small and tight.

Dairy is along the far right wall past the pharmacy. This store has a grand total of 16 aisles.

Packaged meats follow dairy. I love the huge Lancaster Brand Premium Beef signage. Lancaster has been Acme's house brand for meats for a long time.

This was the best picture I could get of fresh seafood and meats.  This department is up against the aisles and there were lots of employees around.

Here's a look down aisle 12 for Retail Retell. I find it kind of funny how the aisle marker says "pancake", not "pancakes". You can buy one singular pancake, and you're going to like it!

Fresh bakery is in the far left corner, selling custom cakes for all occasions. This is a pretty good-sized bakery, at least compared to my local Acme.

More cakes as well as grab and go foods are next. Proudly serving you since 1891.

A very spacious produce department takes up the most of the left of the store. We're looking back towards the bakery in the second shot, and also getting a glimpse of the floral display.

And the last department on our tour is the Corner Deli.

Customer service and checkouts in front. I'm assuming they used the generic "Thank you from your neighborhood ACME" signage because there's another Acme in Media, in the Granite Run Mall.

At this point, the pharmacy was still branded as Savon and beer and wine wasn't being sold yet so the left entrance said "FOOD". The store had the Broadway 2.0 décor, which is now extinct from the chain (one example of the first iteration remains), at this time.

Thank you for stopping by The Retail Connection again! All in all, this store seemed to be pretty well-kept, though it was a little hard to navigate and wasn't very organized. I can understand why, though, since this is a relatively small store. Acme is the only supermarket in Media, so both locations do very well. Thanks again for reading and have a great weekend! Sincerely, The Retail Connection.
