What's Happening in Yonkers, NY…

Usually, the news that a popular retailer is going to be closing its doors is not good. However, news that the ACME Market in Yonkers will be temporarily closing can be a cause for celebration.

The location on McLean Avenue plans on shutting down for less than two months (60 days), during which time the store will undergo a significant remodel and renovation. The plan is to make the store more modern and inviting for shoppers.

Stores that are planning on closing for a brief time or that plan on undergoing a remodel can use postcard printing to keep their customers up-to-date on the progress, and to welcome people back with coupons and discounts when the store reopens.

Among the new features at the renovated ACME will be a full-service butcher and a new department for seafood. There will also be an updated and expanded bakery department, which will serve artisan breads, cakes, and international desserts. It will also offer gluten-free and organic baked goods. The store's produce department will also get an upgrade and will offer more seasonal items.

The overall theme of the remodel will be offering shoppers more variety and convenience, with an emphasis on freshness.

The store is currently closed and the plan is for it to reopen at the end of February. At that time, the store plans on holding a grand reopening celebration, with the details to be announced.
