Acme Markets worked Wednesday to reopen and restore power to 13 stores that had remained shut down at the start of the day, owing to effects of Hurricane Sandy. By evening, only six remained closed, most of them in Shore towns, a spokesman said.

Twenty-three other supermarkets were operating on generator power, said Steve Sylven, a spokesman for Acme's corporate parent, Supervalu Inc.

The closed stores were in New Britain, Morrisville, Willingboro, Beach Haven, Sea Isle, and Brigantine.    - Maria Panaritis
