Sealed off

The reason the old hardware alcove was being emptied out so thoroughly is that it was closed off and turned (back) into a stock room as part of the remodel. This store's layout is still super weird, but at least this part is a little more normal! This entry into the back room is busy enough that I was able to get a glimpse into it when I was here -- most of the original decor even remains in this space, though I was sadly unable to get a picture (and it was way too busy for me to try to get a picture through the windows in the doors!).
