Remaining (Last?) Acme A Frames
Posted: 19 Nov 2010 19:59
Not sure but I think these Acme A Frames are the last in the chain, one for each state they still operate:
1. Upper Darby, PA (opened 1963 in shopping center, heavily expanded/remodeled)
2. Clayton, NJ (stand-alone, has latest Acme pylon sign color scheme)
3. Chestertown, MD (part of shopping center, remodeled 2000s, but original lights are intact)
4. Trolley Square (DuPont Street) Wilmington, DE (rare A Frame to get 1970s front, but no expansion/Super Saver, now has current logo)
And as I said before, the last original 1970s Acmes might be in Northwest Philadelphia; Oxford, PA; Fallston, MD; and Pike Creek (Hockessin), DE.
Plus the Sharon Hill, PA; Bryn Mawr, PA; Penn Valley/Narberth, PA; Dresher, PA; Maple Shade, NJ; and Fairfax, Wilmington, DE stores are all in their original 1950s buildings. Did I miss one?
The Newtown Square, PA store was a rare late 1950s one with a unique logo until a couple major expansions/remodels in the last 15 years.
Note Acme once had A Frames and other stores in Central PA, New York, and Virginia too.
