For Children and Parents
Acme's mascots, Buck the Dog, and his "girlfriend" Buffy, frequently visit the stores and local events. Store managers hand out Kid Dollars, featuring Buck's picture, to the young shoppers. The stores often put on events at holidays for children, including Breakfast with Santa Claus and Breakfast with the Easter Bunny.
Acme also offers store tours to children to help promote a healthy lifestyle.
The Stow, North Canton, and Ellet stores offered free childcare while shopping, known as Kids' Corners. This service was discontinued in 2011.

those trances and portents!
As if cycles and children and islands
werent enough; as if mourners and gossips
and vegetables were never enough.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“Each generations job is to question what parents accept on faith, to explore possibilities, and adapt the last generations system of values for a new age.”
