The Kirkwood Plaza Acme supermarket will close in November, spokesperson Dana Ward confirmed.
The store, at 4365 Kirkwood Highway in Milltown, is expected to have its final day on or around Nov. 16. Pharmacy staff at the store confirmed that the pharmacy is expected to close sooner, on Oct. 8. Customers can redeem their prescriptions at other Acme Markets locations, or can ask another pharmacy to call to transfer prescriptions.
The nearest Acme locations to Kirkwood Plaza are at the Pike Creek and Prices Corner shopping centers.
Acme spokesperson Ward attributed the Kirkwood Plaza closure to “real estate considerations.” Ward also said the closure is in no way related to parent company Albertsons’ proposed mega-merger with grocery giant Kroger, which has drawn lawsuits and intensifying federal scrutiny this year.
