 Also as part of the expansion and renovation projects, Lazarus remodeled their store in mid-1991, creating a more open floor plan with wider aisles and less division between departments, as opposed to the previous trend of using different décor in each department.The wider floor plan was achieved by eliminating several stockrooms and nearly all of the furniture department.Following these renovations, the store's manager noted that the store was the most profitable in the chain for August and September 1991.
