I've been inside a couple of stores before they opened. Like they build it, they paint it, they do the infrastructure (electrical, plumbing), they put in the equipment like the freezers, refrigerators, the trash compactor, then they put up the aisles and the signs (the ones that say what's down each aisle, but they don't slot the text cards in yet, so they're just blank), and until the merchandise arrives, it kinda just sits there. Been in a few like that. It's a real trip. Sometimes the registers are in and turned off, I've been in one where the registers weren't installed, or even the conveyor belts for the checkout line, just the desk-type things all that would be built onto.
