Despite the deli section being an island, it still got an elaborate backdrop that's just awkwardly hanging out in the middle of the store. This is quite an unusual look, but it's still pretty neat! And yes, this store tops out at just six aisles, a surprisingly low number even for a 60s-era grocery store -- I don't believe I've ever visited a supermarket with quite such a high proportion of the floor space taken up by service departments, except maybe for
the world's smallest QFC (and even that store has 7 aisles!).
Yeah, those tiny Tom Thumb stores are quite similar to the tiny QFCs!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see stores that never got Lifestyle! Sadly, there really aren't many left that haven't closed or remodeled over the past couple years. The new Modern decor in that store is a bit odd itself, though, especially the Guest Services sign!
