Oil City's Giant Eagle

The Giant Eagle in Oil City, PA caught my eye for a number of reasons. One being its small size, but also its unique store exterior. It turns out this was a former A&P supermarket, which explains the weathervane. Although it is a small supermarket by today's standards, it is a perfect fit for a community in need of buying food.

Upon entering the store, you walk by the checkout lanes on your left. The suggested flow is to continue immediately straight into produce. The produce at this location uses an aisle setup in the front right corner of the store.

As you can see, produce wraps around the corner as well. The rest of the produce is seen below:

On the other side of the produce aisles, is the store's snacks and candy area. This does not connect back up to produce.

There is only five checkout lanes. Six if you count the customer service desk.

Even though the supermarket here is small, it still does have a bakery and deli:

The store only has eight aisles.

I personally love the windows here.

And this concludes the tour.

McDonald's in Oil City, PA

While out and about in Venango County, I stumbled across another classic location that has yet to be 'eyebrowed.' This McDonald's location in Oil City, PA is quite unique for a number of reasons which will be highlighted further in the post by pictures.

The railroad tracks in the front of this location just makes for a great picture in my opinion!

Here's an alternate view

We got a few exterior pictures of this classic location and the actual McDonald's sign is located in the back of the parking lot.

Now we move into the restaurant itself. What makes it so special is that there is actually two seperate dining rooms which are connected by what I call the 'ordering hallway.' Oh, and there's also something else....

Entering from the parking lot side. Around the corner is the ordering hallway.

The view behind me from the same general area. Note the restrooms as that detail will be discussed below.

After rounding the corner and passing through the ordering hallway, we come to the second dining room which is dubbed Ronald's Room. This area is full of vintage beauty.

Yes, even a second shared restroom, which is used as both the handicap restroom and baby changing station, is available here which prompts the following sign. The first set of restrooms are not handicap accessible. 

While I realize the ordering hallway isn't really much of a hallway, I call it that simply as a lack of a better word. Here's the area as seen from the Ronald Room:

Finally, we come to the treasures of Ronald's Room. I leave you with a look at them:
