Continuing to spin around, here's a view back towards the entryway doors. This angle shows how the deli and bakery are really crammed into this little bit of space. I have to wonder if it was built like this, or if this area was once just one service department -- it certainly looks awkward having them on top of each other like this.
It's interesting to me that this Albertsons has a 4.2 Google user rating when the nearby Safeway has a 3.9. That's a pretty big difference and I wonder if maybe that's why Albertsons has invested to keep this store updated even though it already had the current Legacy decor package before Heritage. The Safeway appears to be an older Marina design with a new facade. Maybe it got Modern decor in the last few months?
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I visited both stores on this day, and honestly, both of them felt rather dead (and also, both seemed rather outdated apart from the new decor -- yes, the Safeway has Modern). Both the Legacy and Heritage remodels here seem to have been fairly cheap decor swaps, which makes it even weirder that it got remodeled twice in a short period of time, after being left without a remodel for many years.
