Relocated Aisle 12
WEEK 32.2 – Oakland Kroger, Pre-Remodel (II)
With the aforementioned reset involving the shift of all the existing aisles and subsequent creation of a new one out of the newly discovered space, the Aisle 12 marker made its way one aisle over, to the aisle pictured here. It's too bad that I couldn't capture it in the exact same position here in Oakland as it was in my Hernando store, but there's a replica of the millennium décor Aisle 12 marker that started it all, nonetheless :)
From this angle, it's also plainly obvious that the aisle marker was removed and re-hung; there's no way it should be perfectly even with the top of my photo, when the rest of my pic is so blatantly tilted to the right :P (On a related note, apologies for that XD )
My only regret in all of this is that I only put the puzzle pieces about the reset together *after* I had returned home and reviewed these photos... I didn't realize the significance of all of this while I was actually still at the store. If I had, I would've been sure to pay closer attention to Aisle 11 next door, as that would have been a special case.
Obviously, the former frozen foods marker from Aisle 11 wouldn't have been suitable for relocation to a regular aisle, as it would've had just the aisle number, and no slots for item placards underneath. So the question becomes, if the store wound up having to source a new Aisle 11 marker just like they did with Aisle 13, what would it have looked like? Sadly, none of my pictures capture this; I personally do not remember; and we will likely never know, now that the store has remodeled :(
That said... what I *am* able to glean from this photo is that the “new” Aisle 11 was home to health and beauty products. So, what I like to think is that the aisle got the standard updated HABA aisle sign – which would've looked like this – thereby solving all of our décor problems. Voila! :P

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 :)
