Acme to Buy Superfresh in Ocean City

By KARA SEYMOUR (Patch Staff)

Acme Markets has announced plans to buy 76 A&P, Pathmark and Superfresh Supermarkets, including the Superfresh in Ocean City.

The announcement came one day after A&P, which is the markets’ parent company, filed for bankruptcy protection.

“The offer is subject to customary legal and bankruptcy court approvals, following A&P’s Chapter 11 filing on July 19, 2015, including the potential for higher bids to be submitted and anti-trust approval. A&P has asked the court for an order requiring other bidders to submit their bids by September 11, 2015, with an expectation that court approval for the sale of the stores would be received by October 15, 2015,” Acme said in a statement.

According to Acme’s website, the Superfresh store at 100 West Avenue in Ocean City is on the list.
