The Herndon & Marks Save Mart Is A Timecapsule

I feel like Save Mart kinda forgot they have a store at Herndon & Marks.

I mean, that lighting in the produce section is cool. And it ain’t new.

You walk in the store and it’s like “Wait. Where am I? What year is this? Am I Marty McFly?”

Look at this freezer case:

You don’t see freezer coffins like that much anymore.

The Liquor Department sign and then beer doors are priceless:

Those handles are perfection.

Oh gosh, look at that dairy section:

Then there is my favorite, the meat/deli counter sign:

I simply appreciate that this Save Mart is still there and seems to have missed out on a one or two rounds of Save Mart chain remodels. (You know, like my neighborhood Save Mart with the strange sounds and the bad parking lot.)

Please don’t touch this store, Save Mart! I feel like it’s only a year or so away from everyone appreciating the hell out of its design and I will be here for it.
