The back left corner held the meat department. This store received fewer of the mini-murals than seems normal for conversion Haggens, but the meat department has two of them and two department signs crammed into a little corner...
Note the empty island cases. Neither Albertsons nor Haggen ever seemed to make good use of these, but I had never seen them completely empty before.

Sadly, this picture didn't turn out very well, but anyways, here's the meat service counter and primary department sign.

WEEK 23.2 – RRT, Greenville Kroger
A close-up of the meat and fish department signage. Close-ups were about all I could get, because the layout of the store prevents good angles for draw-backs! (Not the best sounding term, but you know what I mean :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 :)
I purposely underexposed this shot to add to the dark and gritty feel of the meat markets in Chinatown. In stark contrast to the lively colors and warmth of the produce stands, the meat market carries an air of dank grittiness associated with the trade. Something we too easily disassociate ourselves with when buying that perfectly packaged routissire chicken from the supermarket. fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-jason-jacobs.html

Flat iron steak seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Soon to be grilled to a nice medium rare.

Up next along the rear wall is the meat and seafood service counter, tastefully done here with blue paint to differentiate it from the orange paint surrounding it to either side. I like the stenciling on the orange paint areas too, and with the illustrations added next to the department name, all in all I feel this is a very good looking low-ceiling version of the more typical higher-ceiling example. In fact, I might even like it better!
Something I was going to comment on being interesting here was how the “drop-down” portion of ceiling is located next to the counter rather than right above it (better seen in the previous image; pay attention to the area where the wall stencils are). Those drop-down areas are where the neon signage was usually placed, but as it turns out, Horn Lake, too, didn’t have a drop-down over its meat counter, and yet still had the neon signage there, so I suppose this isn’t too strange of a setup after all.
Hope y’all are enjoying this one so far – we’ll be back soon to continue around the rest of the store. In the meantime, up next, I’m going to be trying something new – rather than going back to the Horn Lake Target just yet, I’m going to introduce a third store to the rotation to try and keep things fresh. Whether that sticks permanently or is just temporary while we still go through all those Target remodel pics, I’m not yet sure, but either way, please be sure to come back in a few days for that!

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder
And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder
And the calf that you carve with a smile
It is murder
And the turkey you festively slice
It is murder
Do you know how animals die?
