There was a lot of good stuff on that website, but this set made my day. It's been so long since I've seen Wavy Pastel. By 2012 Publix had pretty much decimated whatever remnants of it were left, and I'm pretty sure that by now it's 100% gone from all remaining Publix stores. Even though that's more than likely the case, I still have to peek through the window when I come across an older Publix in my travels thinking that maybe, just maybe, I'll see a pastel wave inside. Just about every Florida based supermarket chain used pastel color schemes for their decor though the late 90's, as Florida is typically associated with pastel colors. When earth tones began to grow in popularity in the 2000's, pastel took the back burner. Unlike with Publix, it's pretty easy to find a Winn-Dixie still stuck in the 90's (or a decade prior to that, even - which is one of many of their major problems with competing against Publix). Publix's 2nd Generation Classy Market, which came out in 2009, is currently on it's path to extinction!Albertsons Florida Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350708223049245195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628100700550321985.post-42120298004144960182016-03-06T14:58:24.921-05:002016-03-06T14:58:24.921-05:00Thanks for the links, and glad you were able to ma...Thanks for the links, and glad you were able to make so much of the one the commenter left! This décor is pretty awesome! It's been forever since I've been in a Winn-Dixie, but the pictures I've seen of them (majority unremodeled, unlike how Publix keeps their stores) seem pretty similar to this décor with that 90s muted feel ("pastel" is a really good word for it), and since I love 90s stuff, that's a compliment from me :P Looking forward to the other cool thing you found!Retail Retellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12636351832804174132noreply@blogger.com
