Um, I'm pretty sure these aren't accessories

One big departure from recent Fred Meyer remodels is over in the clothing department -- this store actually got some new decor! Throughout the Banner era (and sometimes even in later Northwest remodels), the clothing department was almost always left as is, with only a handful of stores getting Banner clothing decor, and generally only when the clothing department was moved to a different part of the store. I believe I've only visited two Fred Meyers with Banner clothing decor, and they were either extremely bland or rather weird. In contrast, the new Artisan stuff looks pretty nice, even if they really just slapped a few new signs up on the existing fixtures. Though I do have to wonder how this one ended up being completely incorrect for the products on display, just a few months after the remodel wrapped up...

  1. What kind of flooring is that, carpeting? If so, it's an odd pattern, but I suppose it beats concrete floors.

    1. Yep, most of these "classic" Fred Meyers have carpet in the clothes departments! They were really going for a higher-end look in their clothes sections back in the day.
