Hello everyone & welcome back to the Shoppes of Battery Mill blog. It's been how long we've posted anything... But here I am! Anyways, this post will cover on one of the newest Shoppers locations somewhere in the middle of nowhere southern tip of Maryland.

Now let's seek some new looks here, shall we? When you continue reading!

Let's start with some 80's stuff that has been borrowed from McKays, the previous & first anchor of this exact store.


This payphone that still operates can be seen on the exterior entrance walls. I didn't actually use it but from what I've known, it's still in operation.
Also this retro Chevrolet Belaire that fits very well as a setting with this façade.

One of the newest stores to add a entrance logo is this place.


This is the produce section. It looks mediocre from all of the Shoppers locations, also the only one to have a Floral section inside. The short ceiling, coming from the McKays architecture, makes this store look more smaller yet the location is pretty big from the looks of the exterior.


Also the Café still behind the Saving Zone, it still gives the strong McKays retro feel. You can tell by the old TV on the roof. Let's wish they get a TV service for it.

Also this typeface error, 'Lunch' has Arial instead of Gotham.

Also this former liquor area from when it was a McKays location. Shoppers for some reason doesn't sell liquor here.

My opinions? This store is extremely amazing and cozy, but needs to undergo 1 decor package fix.
I guess that's all I have to say for now.
