007aRemodeling at the Skillman/LBJ Tom Thumb is essentially complete and grand re-opening festivities are set to begin this Friday, June 28 and continue throughout the weekend. Employees were putting the finishing touches on this morning when I popped in to do my shopping.

Though they puffed with pride when sharing excitement about the new store, most were too shy or too busy to pose for photos.

The biggest changes include a new, in-store Starbucks and elimination of one of the front doors (there’s only one way in & out now). The wood-look floors, expanded produce, bakery and floral sections and brighter, modern layout resemble other updated stores.

004aWith the Skillman/Abrams store gone, chances are good there’ll be lots of folks giving the new store a look this weekend. Here’s hoping there’ll be lots of checkout lanes open, too.
