Walmart Supercenter on Grayson Road in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
This store is notable for the lopsided facade that it presents. Rather than completely demolishing and replacing the existing facade, the 1990s-era sign area was retained for the expanded store. Normally, when the original sign area is retained in a Supercenter conversion, the sign is centered between the two entrances. However, in this instance, the sign area is aligned to the left, adjacent to the general merchandise-side door, with a large space between the sign and the grocery-side entrance. It surprises me that Walmart opted to retain the original sign, knowing that it would not be centered, rather than constructing an entirely new facade, and eliminating all of the 1990s-era styling.
