Acme

Acme Markets traces back to 1891, when Samuel Robinson and Robert Crawford opened a neighborhood grocery store in South Philadelphia. In 1917, they merged with four other local chains to form what became the American Stores Company, and the Acme name itself was adopted in 1937, named after the Acme Tea Company. Today, Acme operates 159 stores across Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley of New York, and is one of several supermarket banners owned by Albertsons Companies.
