Starbucks in grey

I'm honestly surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, despite it sticking out like a sore thumb in the background of many of my photos! It appears that the only major thing about this store that's changed since the Safeway takeover is the Starbucks kiosk, which has the current design along with a grey wall behind it that completely clashes with all of the earth tones throughout the rest of this store. I'm pretty sure this store would have had a Starbucks before the Safeway merger -- after all, Haggen was supposedly the first grocery store chain to put Starbucks kiosks in their stores, all the way back in the 80s -- but it looks like there wasn't an exterior sign for Starbucks until fairly recently, so I'm not sure.
