On the inside, this store has what I believe to be Haggen's first post-buyout decor package, which showed up in a few stores in the late 2010s. It's a bit difficult to figure out exactly what is going on with Haggen decor packages these days, since they have very few stores and Safeway doesn't seem interested in investing all that much into them, but there is at least one store that has what appears to be a newer package. This one is completely disconnected from anything Haggen used before the buyout or anything that I'm aware of at any other Albertsons/Safeway brand (whereas the newer one seems to be related to a family of decor packages used at their upscale locations, which no one seems to have much real information on).
Just for fun, and to poke fun at my own predictability, here's the exact same angle from my 2018 visit:
