It became standard practice for Fred Meyer to leave most of the existing apparel decor in place in later Banner remodels, but this was still a fairly surprising sight in 2019 -- and the specific apparel decor here is a particular surprise, being from the Fred Meyer Script/Block Script package, rather than Northwest as the rest of the store originally had. This store was built in 2008, by which time I would have expected Northwest to have become established throughout Fred Meyer, but apparently not!
Huh, this decor looks like it might have been a bit dated looking even in 2008! It is not that it looks bad, but it certainly has some late 1990s/early 2000s vibes to it. It looks like at least when this photo was taken, the inventory of shoes at this Fred Meyer was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does! Though admittedly, it is a bit more interesting than Northwest's decor for this department.
DeleteEven these days, Fred Meyer seems to keep a decent inventory in their clothing departments -- the issue is that no one ever seems to buy that inventory! 🫤
