Sparks, NV Smiths Remodel

This store first opened in 1987 and then repainted with certain refrigeration replaced in 1997 completed its remodel last week. Although extensive work was done, the store still shows many signs of its age. The original floor remains in the back 3/4 of the store while a new floor was installed in the front 1/4 of the store. The original tan colored shelves remain. The store layout didn't change too much.
