Original Tenant:  Pathmark Address:  1043 US-9, Old Bridge, NJ Opened:  1990s Closed:  2015 Later Tenants: subdivided Photographed: February 2021 Our second post today is kinda the same as the first post. See a look at the ALDI here , and now we're going to take a closer look at the rest of the building. The 58,000 square foot building is a 1990s-era Pathmark Super Center, which you can see Acme Style's coverage of at the end of their post here . As we'll see, the former Pathmark space is remarkably intact six years after closing... ...although much of the facade has been repainted to disguise its red, white, and blue Pathmark colors. The structure of the facade is still mostly intact though, with just a few cosmetic changes over on the ALDI side.

Original Tenant:  ACME Markets Address: 2500 US-9, Old Bridge, NJ Opened:  1962 Closed:  unknown Later Tenants:  subdivided Photographed:  February 2021 A quick look at the former ACME just across the highway from today's other post, Garden Farm . Acme Style covered this store along with the existing Old Bridge ACME here (and see my post of the current Old Bridge ACME here ). It's worth noting that the existing ACME was an A&P until 2015, so that was not a replacement for this store which probably closed by the 90s. The facade on the 20,500 square foot store hides the pitched roof, which is also hidden in the back... Very clearly a former supermarket. Tomorrow, we'll be touring our next store just to the north along US-9 on  The Market Report !
