ACME Replaces Giant in Salisbury Next Month

Gaint Food Logo

On September 9th the Giant Food supermarket will change names in Salisbury.

It’s being taken over by ACME and comes around a month and a half after the parent company Albertson’s announced its purchase of the Giant chain.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the store will be shut down for a few days during the transition.

The parent company of Giant which owns Food Lion was forced to divest itself during a merger since it would have had a virtual monopoly in the Salisbury market.
