In the late 80s, Fred Meyer split up their Longview, Washington store into two buildings, and moved sporting goods, home improvement, and garden into a seperate building in front of the main store and they had an open entrance like that.

The PayLess that opened near my former home in Vancouver, Washington in the mid-90s did not have that interior, but the pharmacy was at the front, just to the right of the doors as you walk in. It also did not have diagonal aisles, but was considerably smaller than the nearby large PayLess it replac...

They had plans to turn it into a library, but now a higher offer has surfaced and it may become state offices. The inside of this store is mostly intact, with the original bro...

I guess I meant to ask: Did Fred Meyer ever build a NEW store from the ground up which was a Marketplace and not a conventional Fred Meyer store? I remember Stock Market Foods.

Rink's
I remember this store as a kid in Ohio, it was much like a K-Mart. There were a few around Toledo and Sandusky. How big was this chain and when did it go away?
