Whole Foods Jenkintown

Whole Foods Jenkintown

Jenkintown, PA. Center of the plate offerings were Turkey nuggets and Turkey Burgers a la Cranberry. Customers making their shopping rounds eagerly sampled both items, leading to a burger sell-out and many boxes of nuggets moving from freezer shelf to shopping cart. Tomorrow morning , I'm headed for the WFM at 9th & South St., Philly. Stop by if you can and say hey to the best turkey nuggets and burgers, from Koch's Turkey Farm, of course!Today we will be taking a look at one of the most unique Acmes in existence. It also happens to be the location that kicked off the final, albeit short-lived, era of American Stores. We did take a quick look at the former Acme in Jenkintown back in March 2009. The gloriously preserved pitched-roof building is now home to a Whole Foods. The current location seen here was shown in satellite photos but did not receive full coverage until now. The interesting exterior here is due to the building's origins as a Lord and Taylor department store. You can see a picture of the building, from the opposite side, circa 1962 by clicking here. I'm a little sketchy on the details here but at some point Lord and Taylor was replaced by Bloomingdales.
