The grocery store I shop from the most just had a corporate redesign on the layout to make it open like that, and it's super annoying because I have to wander around more to get stuff. I figured it had something to do with putting increased sales over usability. The last place I used to shop did something similar, swapping all of their shelves out for shorter ones to try and make it feel more open. They went bankrupt and liquidated a a few years later. The other store I mentioned is closing locations, so maybe it's one of those grasping-at-straws things that corporate does trying to find last-minute ways to make the numbers better before they have to cease operations.
