THIS IS THE STORE OF NO DÉCOR...
Not sure what happened here. Looks like a remodel may have started but wound up not going anywhere. Most of the colors painted on the walls is from A&P's "fresh" version 2 remodel but some are not. What's so strange is there is absolutely no signage or artwork to be found in this store. A mystery indeed. Acme could easily hang the department signs from round 3 of the Premium Fresh & Healthy remodel and call it a day. The aisle markers from that package would tie in nicely with the black and white floors here. Hopefully Tim can keep us posted if any changes are made in the near future. Acme hasn't even updated the lighting in Produce at this point.
Busy Bakery!
Nothin' on the walls...
The Dietz and Watson sign has been removed from the A&P's and Pathmarks in my area but remains here.
The old school frozen food department still looks really good.
Doesn't even look like this store has a "Thank You for Shopping..." along the front-end.
Some of the register lights have been switched around with printouts of new numbers taped over the original numbers.
Times for Acme to put up some department signage!
AERIAL VIEWS
The Blairstown Acme is in the middle of no where with no competition nearby. The original A&P is located about a mile east of the replacement store.
This A&P was built sometime after 1971 according to the historic images, seen here while it was it was abandoned. Tractor Supply Co. has since made the building its home. Click here for a look of the updated store.
Looks like this store remained an A&P Food Market until the end.

Couldn't get a full shot of the area in 1997 but we do see the A&P on the left side.
