Is that store as isolated as the pictures make it appear? How far to the nearest other structure? Or town? Interesting form of art. Reminds me of the Cadillac Ranch.

Also, are those very white looking soils (some look like piles of white sand) the reflective materials mentioned earlier?

Yes, the store is along the road in the middle of large fields just west of Valentine, TX (pop. ~100ish, but I'm sure that's an old number). The railroad is on the other side of the road, but that's about all in that section. It's a few miles outside of town.

My fiance has nice wide angle shots of it and I'm sure the desolation is all part of the art installation.

Though we did have fun speculating who would build a Prada there before we stopped on the way home and saw the sign.

I'm not sure about the soils (do you mean the pictures just previous? - if so, they are tuff piles in Big Bend National Park near to the Castolon station)
