The front right corner, specifically, is home to the cosmetics section, which typically seems to be a big deal for drugstores, but even it is looking a bit rough around the edges here, between the lack of product and the falling-apart displays (there's a whole letter missing from the endcap on the left). Up front, the drop ceiling initially made me think the store might have been expanded on the front when it got its new facade, but exterior views make it clear that didn't happen; instead, it seems to be somewhere to hide the HVAC system, something that's a significant issue with thin-shell building designs such as this and Safeway's Marina prototype. (I wouldn't be surprised if Tradewell didn't even install air conditioning in this building originally.)
