While Albertsons differed the stores' exteriors a bit throughout the different divisions, the interior floorplans were usually the same (or close to the same) throughout the divisions. Looking at Acme Style's pictures of the Clifton store, there is a small difference between that store and this one. In Clifton, the bakery was in an island between produce and the grocery aisles. At Albertsons 4495, the bakery was on the right side wall between the deli and seafood. The flooring in this building probably won't match what was seen in the Acme. I'm almost positive Publix installed the flooring that's in this building now.Albertsons Florida Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350708223049245195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-49840019873300844502017-03-06T13:33:24.013-05:002017-03-06T13:33:24.013-05:00The layout of this store is EXACTLY the same as th...The layout of this store is EXACTLY the same as the Acme in Clifton, NJ. Following your tour, everything was in the same place--deli, seafood, pharmacy, dairy, even the weird floral box stuck out in the middle of the place. The store also had the 2 entrances with the separate one for the pharmacy. The store opened in 2004 so it was from about the same time. I have to compare the flooring in your pics with photos of the Acme on Flickr. The store is now a Kosher market.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806045690667667470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-70125779502626154282017-02-09T11:02:03.423-05:002017-02-09T11:02:03.423-05:00Meijer stores are supercenters, they're on par...Meijer stores are supercenters, they're on par with Walmart (150k-210k square feet), and only about a third of the store is a supermarket, the rest contains typical discount store fare (a large apparel department, electronics, automotive, garden, etc.)Pseudo3Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848368606946150471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-78706544567798477032017-02-07T21:28:18.185-05:002017-02-07T21:28:18.185-05:00I'm very curious to see what Publix did with s...I'm very curious to see what Publix did with some of the Jewel-Osco/Albertsons buildings they acquired in their 2008 purchase of those 49 Albertsons stores. Those buildings easily push 70,000 square feet and are probably the largest Publix stores in the entire chain. I'm sure those are some unusually spacious Publixes. I always thought Meijer stores were mostly over 100,000 square feet, as they're essentially a supercenter. I didn't think they came much smaller than that other than some older locations still floating around out there. I'd like to see another new competitor come into Florida to take on Publix. Maybe the people at Safeway are working on something...Albertsons Florida Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350708223049245195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-20558601074145265552017-02-07T14:33:55.108-05:002017-02-07T14:33:55.108-05:00I remember researching this former Albertsons on G...I remember researching this former Albertsons on Google maps and couldn't believe how large it was. Actually, a Meijer would almost fit perfectly in this old Albertsons. Their store look like they range from 80,000-100,000 square ft., so it would be a small Meijer,but I think Publix bit off more than they could chew inherited this one! I agree with Pseudo3D about more Safeways. I would have liked to have seen Albertsons hold on to the Archer Rd. store (4389), and see that one converting to Safeway about now. That would be an excellent location for a Safeway, but oh well, in Florida Publix seems to rule the roost. I would warn Publix not to get too complacent with their position. All it takes is a slip in quality and customer service and people will start to look elsewhere, Like Lucky's Market.

Publix isn't a fan of really big stores, so they get a bit lost on what to do with the extra space at these stores they inherit. You'd think that a company like Publix wouldn't leave so much from the original occupant behind at a building they inherit, but around here, that's usually what happens. I don't recall that metal trim from Albertsons, but I don't recall Publix using it either! It also somewhat matches the Industrial Circus decor, so I'm leaning more toward Albertsons with that.Albertsons Florida Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350708223049245195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-34449048160247576752017-02-05T21:52:46.188-05:002017-02-05T21:52:46.188-05:00There are already 4 Publix stores within 4 miles o...There are already 4 Publix stores within 4 miles of that old Albertsons, so it would have been nice to see a different grocery store get that space.

That pharmacy entrance area is especially confusing, although I like the old pictures they put on the wall there. Plus it's cool how so many Albertsons remnants have stuck around somewhat, such as that wood paneling and the former homes of the Industrial Circus columns.
