Aisle 3, and Script Décor Tile Floor
WEEK 39 – Covington Kroger Closing, Set 2
It’s about that time in the stour… we’re heading down one of the aisles now, Aisle 3 to be specific. As you can see, the store remained extremely well-stocked; sure, the closure announcement had only been issued a few days ago at this point, but still, I doubt much changed from this scene in the month-and-a-half or so that followed.
Not only are the shelves pristine, but look at the floor, too: nice and clean for sure! And while we’re looking at it, let’s talk about it for a moment: the floor tiles you see here show us a pattern that was used with the script décor package, big squares composed of four tiles – three gray and one black. It’s an interesting design, and one that I can prove was used with some degree of regularity – Cleveland had it too, for example, as did West Memphis, a store with the “block script” décor (Flagship Value as opposed to Flagship Script) – but I can’t say with 100 percent certainty that this was the *only* tile pattern ever used with script décor. Likewise, there are a good many script stores that I don’t think even had tile floors at all, instead becoming early adopters of stained concrete (which a handful of millennium Kroger stores also experimented with in the years prior).

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 :)
