ACME Will Close Its Newark Supermarket On Ferry Street

NEWARK, NJ — If you’re one of Newark’s Ironbound residents who shop at the ACME supermarket at 281-295 Ferry Street, it’s time to start looking for a different place to get your groceries and prescriptions.

The Ferry Street store will close its doors by June 16, an ACME spokesperson confirmed to Patch on Monday.

An ACME spokesperson provided Patch with the following statement about the store closure:

“Closing a store is always a tough decision, but we are focused on growing our business and reinvesting those resources into our new stores including two new locations in Philadelphia that we are planning to open in the coming months along with other sites we are aggressively exploring and hope to announce soon. We look forward to continuing to provide our customers with clean, fresh, full and friendly shopping experiences.”

When asked about the fates of the store’s current employees, the spokesperson said:

“Our human resources team will be diligently working with each affected associate and the labor unions to discuss the impact and effects of this decision under the applicable law or labor agreements.”
