The don't care what the outside looks like so that tells you about the inside. They won't even re-stripe the parking lot and by now there literately are no parking stripes. They barely keep the grass mowed on the small strip between the sidewalk and the street on the corner lot.

Their "landscaping" is pretty much a few bushes and weeds growing ankle high where the mulch disappeared years ago. It's just amazing how they build all these thousands of stores and then ignore basic maintenance.
