Welcoming inside

 

Things aren't looking much better inside, with even the impulse-buys wall by the checkout counter being rather bare. Heck, there were even empty spots on the gift card display, something you really don't see all that often! The blank wall up above wouldn't have originally been that way either -- this is where Bartell had their "locally owned" sign, which obviously had to go after the Rite Aid buyout (though apparently it lasted at least until mid-2021, surprisingly enough!).
