Acme to sell DeVitis subs at all deli locations

Have a hankering for a tasty Italian sub? Acme shoppers can now choose from seven DeVitis Fine Italian Foods sub varieties at all Acme Fresh Market delis.

Choices include the Italian sub, Italian super sub, ham and colby sub, turkey and colby sub, ham and swiss on white, turkey and provolone on white and the All-American sub with salami, bologna, ham and colby jack.

Discussions between the two Akron-based, family owned and operated companies began in 2020, with the sub partnership coming to fruition now after COVID delays. Acme is a fifth-generation business that has been in the Akron area for more than 130 years and DeVitis is a fourth-generation shop in business locally for 75 years.

"I am thrilled to bring these high-quality, authentic sandwiches to Acme Fresh Market," Jon Albrecht, Acme's vice president of sales, said in a statement. "We had a great time tasting and talking about sandwiches and operations during the many years of developing this partnership."

"Hundreds of customers a day travel to our store for these sandwiches. We're excited to bring the same quality, delicious subs to all Acme Fresh stores!" said Tony DeVitis, president of DeVitis.
