Strategy:

The Company is repositioning the Acme chain from a division of small supermarkets to one of large food/drug combination stores. The division currently derives over 50% of its sales from combination stores. The Company plans to open at least 10 new combination stores per year for the next four years so that by year-end 2001, Acme will have 101 combination stores. The division will retain a small number of the older supermarkets in cases where a combination store replacement is not possible or suitable.
