Bakery up front

Up at the front of the frozen aisle, we run into the side of the bakery, of all things. This is probably the strangest part of this store's layout to me -- until now, it's seemed pretty much like a classic "grand aisle" store (apart from the Safeway-style pharmacy), except the bakery is all the way over here, awkwardly stuck in a corner all the way on the other side of the store from the grand aisle. I have no idea whether this department placement is original to Max Foods or if it was tacked on by Safeway at some point (with Max Foods being a discount/warehouse brand, perhaps they wouldn't have had a full compliment of service departments like Safeway does), but it doesn't seem to make much sense either way.
