Dual sign

This store was built as part of a loosely-organized strip center, with a couple other attached tenants (the less interesting of which shares a sign with the Albertsons). Other than that, the sign is exactly what you'd expect from a 90s Albertsons. In the background, at the right corner of the store, is a weird awning section that certainly looks like it would have led to a secondary entrance, but it would be somewhat odd for an Albertsons of this era to have a second door, and the 2007 (pre-remodel) Street View clearly shows no trace of a door here then either, so if one ever did exist, it was removed quite quickly after the store opened. Instead, it appears to have always been used to hold a large quantity of bike racks -- surprisingly progressive for a 90s grocery store, even if this is quite a strange location for that, and the "wave racks" they installed are generally considered to be poor design. But still, a net positive, for sure!
