that's the ugliest whole foods I've ever seen. I'd be chased off Nantucket if I ever presented them with a photo of that. The main problem I'm facing is loading dock areas. I have an idea of where to place there. I don't think any semi's can come through town...so I don't think I need traditional loading docks...which makes me wonder why my boss has had me researching this all day. These Cape Copers are a silly bunch when it comes to designing new buildings.

Do you have any pictures? I'm not in Ohio right now, so I can't do any field trips.

Yeah, I used the IGA to figure out reasonable walking distances from the door to the parking since I'm going to orient the store to the water front....still can't quite figure out why my town wants to waste a habour view on a grocery store, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to provide downtown services.

My research isn't bringing up much....so I thought I'd ask you guys if you knew of any interesting/innovative urban grocery store designs. I need to design something around 15,000 sq ft w/ an attached garage surrounded by other mixed-use smaller buildings for a water-front location. I would get in my car and drive around to surrounding communities for ideas...but I'm stuck on an island right now. (Randy, I know you probably have some ideas on this) Thanks!
