Big central cut-through

This is where the weird similarities to the Port Angeles store start coming in. In Port Angeles, the store always (or at least since the first Lifestyle remodel) had a cut-through between the produce department and the first aisle, which was home to natural/international foods at the time. In the mid-2010s refresh, that cut-through was expanded to the first several aisles, just like in this picture, with natural foods dispersed throughout the store (but still a good concentration of them in the aisles reached by the cut-through). In this store, the layout seems to be more or less the same as the mid-2010s refresh left it, but in Port Angeles, the cut-through was quickly (in the next reset, so 1-2 years later) filled back in except for the first aisle, and natural/international foods were completely dispersed throughout the store (and many items discontinued altogether), so the cut-through really ceased to make sense.
