11. Acme
Reader Score: 73Location: PA, NJ, DE, MD
Year Founded: 1891
Acme’s shortcoming was on price, which received a less-than-satisfactory rating, though survey respondents were fairly satisfied with cleanliness, and neutral on food quality and service. Facing increased competition from other supermarkets, Acme laid off 900 part-time workers in 2010, and recently ended their popular “free Thanksgiving turkey” program for loyal customers to cut costs.
