Well..unless there's two Meijer's on Rome-Hilliard...? (joking)
Yeah I'm sure we're talking about the same place - I live within throwing
distance of the store. I looked specifically at them as I walked past the
aisle, though I didn't stop to browse but I did indeed see that they had the
usual display.
I haven't been to the Sawmill store probably since we lived up there two
years ago, but even then, their LEGO's were in an aisle, not on an end cap.
Did they change to the outside wall as the Rome-Hilliard store used to be, then?
The LEGO aisle at Rome-Hilliard is basically right near the main aisle - you
know where the video game consoles are? It's in that portion/section about
2-3 more aisles towards the back of the store. They are on the front facing
shelves of the aisle (you will be facing the front of the store when you are
looking at them).
Here's my bad attempt at a map that is obviously not to scale:
back of store
| ========== ========= ||
| ========== ======**= ||
| ========== ========= ||
O ========== =======X ||
| ========== ========= ||
front of store
== - left/right running aisles
| - front/back running aisles
O - old location
X - where the video games are.
** - new location of the main LEGO area.
Note - these aren't exact - there may be more or fewer rows of aisles, but
this should make more sense than words as to where the new location is.
Hope this helps.
