Looking back towards the pharmacy

This feels like it's the side wall, but the lack of diamond windows indicates that it's actually the back. These 90s Rite Aids were built with an extremely bizarre layout -- L_dawg2000 from Flickr found a floor plan at a store in his area, and while I'm having trouble mentally mapping it onto this store, I'm sure it's pretty similar.

One of their 2 stores in Port Angeles (sadly(?) since remodeled) was even weirder -- Rite Aid tried to cram something akin to this layout into an old Payless, which of course had its door in the normal spot in the middle of the front wall rather than in the corner like their new-build stores had. I can't remember exactly how it worked -- heck, I probably never quite understood how it worked -- but I do remember that we would always get lost when we shopped there! (Which, admittedly, wasn't often, since we could walk to the other Rite Aid in town.) On an interesting side note, the reason Rite Aid did such a major remodel on that store is that the Payless also included what is now the Big Lots space -- their newer stores were huge in comparison to the typical Rite Aid, so most were downsized following the buyout. Heck, that one must have been bigger than the old Safeway at the other end of the plaza! I know, this is a random side conversation, but what else would you expect? 🙂
