Stepping inside

At first glance, this Maxway looks like a run-of-the-mill Safeway, with Lifestyle v2 (Refresh) decor and produce spilling out into the entryway. The open ceiling is a bit of a hint that something's unusual here, but that's something Safeway went back-and-forth on in the 90s and even into the early 00s (almost all of the pictures I've found of those weird experimental Lifestyle decors showed stores with open ceilings, which seems to indicate that Safeway was seriously considering that for their Lifestyle-build stores -- that would have definitely been a different look!), so it's not that out of place.
