You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
WEEK 8 – Batesville Kroger, Set II
Here’s a close-up of the dairy department sign, because I love the interaction of the light “woodgrain” basket sign and the yellow wall paint :) For that matter, the tree stencils and “dairy” letters are integral parts of this scene, too. I just like the whole department’s presentation in this décor package, haha! Dairy and the “garden” circle… my two favorite parts of 2012 décor. Hard to believe this package has been retired :(
That sad face might be interpreted as hypocritical, given that back in my early days of flickr I harassed and maligned this décor with no mercy, lol! But I did try to also make clear that I always liked the look of this décor… I just simply grew tired of seeing it in every. dang. Kroger. (I was also taking out some anger on the décor that would have been more appropriately directed at Kroger itself, for remodeling away lots of cool older décor packages [coughBauhauscough].)
Nowadays, Kroger’s new décor package – as we've seen – is fresh and local, but both here in the Delta Division and in other places around the country, it seems that Kroger is using that décor less prevalently than other “new” packages in the past, instead opting to push the Marketplace décor package into a significant number of non-Marketplace stores. My past criticisms are coming back to bite me, on that front: to be honest, I like 2012 better than Marketplace, and would prefer to see it in more remodels than the latter :/

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
