I almost have to let go of my dislike for bad puns due to how awesome this sign is otherwise, but "souperheros" is a bridge too far! The other part that confuses me is the extremely prominent ℞ symbol at the top of the sign -- yes, Raley's does have a pharmacy, but it doesn't seem to be something they heavily emphasize other than with this sign, and as far as I can tell, Raley's was founded as a grocery store so it's not like they have drugstore roots. Still, this is extremely cool, and I'm so happy to see neon coming into fashion again!
That is a pretty neat sign! It almost looks like something from Las Vegas or something. As for the souperheros pun, well, something that bad almost needs a 'Sincerely, Raley's' or 'Sincerely, Safeway' sign under it, lol. But, yeah, this store clearly looks better from the outside than inside, but I suspect it is even neater at night than during the day. I'm glad you captured this sign at night.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not super thrilled to see bad puns like this spreading beyond Safeway! Thankfully, they seem to have already started cutting back on Sincerely stuff (at least around here), and especially the bad puns, though they aren't gone entirely.
DeleteMe too! This is what I was thinking of when I mentioned how it turned out to be a good thing that this was an after-dark visit.
