The stores are expected to close Feb. 20 and affect approximately 120 jobs. Displaced workers will have an opportunity to transfer to open positions at other Acme locations, a spokeswoman said.

Acme, based in Malverne, Pa., operates 112 stores, including the two slated for February closure. The chain was taken over by Albertsons last year.
