General CommentsObserved remodeling occurring in dining room but no remodeling occurring in kitchen area. PIC stated a deep cleaning will occur in the kitchen but no changes will be made to layout of kitchen. Per PIC, a change in the business model will be occurring once the remodel is complete. The salad bar and buffet line have been removed and will not be replaced. Facility business model is changing to reflect more of what is seen traditionally inside a Harris Teeter with prepackaged food items placed in reach-in coolers/freezers where buffet line used to be (see attached layout plan). Remodels are anticipated to be complete by mid-September.
