Note:
Even though Inisfree is a city spanning 100 square miles (not to mention its airspace, extended perimeter, subterranean facilities, deployed armadas, and private solar system), it only has one grocery store. The reasons for this are that 1) Inisfreeans don't require sustenance like the foods and drinks that humans and some other Outlander lifeforms eat and drink, and 2) all residences in the Inisfreean realm (including on the Inisfreean military Spaceships) can (and usually do) grow all of their own food; they have balconies and turf-roofs with troughs and gardens for fruit and nut trees, as well as places for herbs, spices, vegetables, and so forth. This grocery store, then, is more of just a novelty and museum piece, as well as, of course, the traditional Inisfreean architectural clone variation showcasing their mastery of applying luxurious 'patches' to anything interesting and worthy they encounter during their expeditions beyond the borders of their hidden realm.
Dimensions & Layout:
Inisfree's grocery store measures 330'x726' across its foundation, giving it a floor-space of 239,580 square feet (that's five and a half acres), which makes it the largest grocery store on Earth, as well as almost as large as most Costco, Fry's Electronics, IKEA, and Walmart supercenters. Aisles are 10 feet wide, and are arranged like rows or columns, with gaps at even intervals along their lengths, making for easy navigating anywhere in this large grocery store. Vertical support beams are massive, fluted columns with Corinthian capstones, and double as cylindrical waterfall walls; water poured out from just above them clings to their surfaces on all sides on the way down to collection moats at their bases. Freezer aisles are all below ground level; in this grocery store's basement level, which you can take luxurious service lifts (elevators) down to, shopping cart and all. As for the shopping carts, you will never hear squeaking, dragging, or wobbling wheels because they use tiny internal Repulsines instead; all our shopping carts here silently float (and have repulsor bumper technology to keep them from knocking things off any shelf). Lastly, there are two stories to this grocery store; the ground-level one, and the basement. The basement has a typical factory ceiling 30' above its floor, while the ground-level floor has a ceiling 50' above it. This is to keep the 'look and feel' within these areas spacious, palatial, and inspiring.
Special Features:
Inisfreeans love fitness, so instead of standing in waiting lines at the very departments and counter-tops of this grocery store, patrons hang from pull-up bars and muscle-up rings, practicing those exercises before swinging, like on monkey bars, to the next ones ahead of them. Each time the line moves up, so do the people via these bars and rings.
Another trait that sets this store apart from most Outlander ones is that there are no checkout lanes or cash registers. All your items are scanned by the door frames (like hidden metal detectors and bar-code readers) to let the computer-controlled inventory system know which shelves need to be restocked (and which friendly reminders of new food and drink availabilities and innovations are happening throughout Inisfree's many restaurants and other attractions), then the Food Processing Facility gets their part of the information and produces the needed items, fine-tunes their output every time they get an inventory update from this grocery store.
Also, this is one of the few places in Inisfree where guests do not have the option of picking their consumables straight from the vine. The focus and purpose of this store is to provide easy-access bulk items, pre-packaged, for those who are looking to save the time that would otherwise be spent walking around and manually filling their plates or containers one by one.
Lastly, this is one of the only places in Inisfree where you will almost never see anyone having sex. This is to keep the products on display in this store in pristine condition; perfect flavor profiles void of anything not intended to be tasted or smelled with them.
