A gun was never seen and the man left the items he attempted to steal when he ran to his car. On Oct. 2, Police Lt.

Everyone deserves a full table of food on Thanksgiving, and that's why the Stow-Munroe Falls Lion Club is donating food and gift cards to 22 families within the Stow-Munroe Falls School District.

The free child care service offered at the grocery store was closed indefinitely March 25.
Kids Corner, the free child care facility inside the Acme Fresh Market on Kent Road, closed today and one full-time and five part-time child care employees are out of a job. Not only are six employees no longer working at Acme, but parents no longer have the option to have their children cared for while shopping for groceries. "It's always sad for something to leave, but I hope shoppers are very excited about whats coming," said Acme Executive Vice President Jim Trout about the remodeling happening this spring to the exterior and interior of the store.

The grocery store is going to make more than $1 million in improvements to the parking lot and store entrance after Easter.
Acme Fresh Market is going to spend $650,000 on a new entrance and $450,000 to change its parking lot that many drivers find "totally confusing." That's what City Council President Janet D'Antonio said about the current lot and said during Monday's meeting she is "glad [they] are looking to change it." The $450,000 will be spent on realigning and resurfacing the lot and installing new landscaping islands. New light fixtures will also be added, said Robert White, a representative for the project. "We'll install high performing fixtures and eliminated several of the poles," he said. "The height will be the same but the light is more efficient and we'll get a better light pattern on the parking lot. " To get the most use out of the entrance, …
