Zigzag

The cases here are rather mismatched -- I'm guessing the ones in this picture were added by H Mart while the others were original to QFC, but they both have those retro light boxes above them, so... I'm really not sure. Also, I had always assumed the seafood department was a H Mart addition, but looking closely at this picture, I can see QFC wood paneling poking out around the newer H Mart decor, so I guess it's more original than I had thought. I suppose that isn't too surprising -- some QFCs had separate meat and seafood departments, and since this store is so much larger than the average QFC, it makes sense it would have had that. (Of course, most of the elaborate fixtures here are surely an H Mart thing!) 

This will be my last post for a little while -- I'm heading out tomorrow for a vacation up to Vancouver (BC... I'm soon going to have posts from both Vancouvers on here, uh oh!) and should be back to posting on the 4th of July. I had originally planned this as a retail road trip (stealing a phrase from Retail Retell), but that's kind of falling apart... it's now going to be a retail bus trip, because my parents' car that I was going to borrow broke down and won't be getting fixed in time (or at all, most likely, since they're in the process of buying a new car) and I didn't feel like spending $1000+ for a rental car for the week (holy cow, rental car prices are crazy right now)... and I'm not entirely sure how much retail I'm going to get to either, between the lack of a car (which isn't a great excuse, since Vancouver has an amazing transit network compared to basically anywhere in the US) and my current mental health issues that I've mentioned previously that have been making it difficult for me. But there are certainly some interesting things that I'm looking forward to being able to show you eventually, especially when it comes to what's left of Safeway Canada!
