A horizontal multi-colored awning-like banner hangs just below the large letters. A wide variety of fresh produce is on display. Wicker baskets are stacked on the floor for use by shoppers. A number of weighing scales are distributed throughout the produce section. Signs propped on top of produce piles all read, "SALE."
