Stepping inside

As is fairly common for Albertsons, the first thing you run into upon entering the store is the coffee kiosk, which in this case was, surprisingly, a Tully's. Unlike Kroger, which used to be all over the place with their coffee kiosk brands, Albertsons (like Safeway) was quite consistent with their Starbucks kiosks. Sure, there's a Starbucks across the street, but I've seen grocery store Starbucks locations much closer to standalone ones before...

Off in the background, you can see that this store has the PF&H v1 decor package (the cheap version, as we'll see shortly), with the somewhat strange ceiling structure that's another common trait of these larger 90s stores. And speaking of the ceiling, at the very top of this picture are three non-functional security monitors -- not sure what's going on there, especially as this part of town is definitely somewhere you'd want as many security features as you can get! (Which is almost certainly a large part of the reason this store closed...)
