Out of curiosity, I found out that the word "Acme" means peak, zenith, apogee. And I think that this Acme store really lives up to that name. The prices are high, and the fresh items aren't superb, but it's just such a nice place to shop. Sales do happen frequently and you get a lot of value buys. The staff are extraordinary, though sometimes overwhelmed. (They sometimes forget to give you change or something you bought.) What I really like is how unlike other Acmes, this store treats customers nicely and people are friendly here. That's why I still come here to buy things even though I could shop elsewhere and there's no shortage of stores around here. Hey, there's two other markets just down the street maybe two miles or less from Acme.
They just remodeled, and let me tell you, it is very classy here now. I can't believe how beautiful the store has become.
