Luxury Convenience Stores

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 5 Points Market Convenient Store Design Has Upscale Features

— January 19, 2016 — Business
Designed by Paragon Solutions to have a more upscale feeling for consumers, the 5 Points Market convenient store design is focused on offering convenience, but not at the expense of experience. The richly appointed design aesthetic of the 5 Points Market places blond wood against more rustic features like chalkboard signage for an upscaled yet approachable overall experience.

While other convenience stores are focused more on consumer packaged goods, the 5 Points Market packs local craft beer and wines as well as barista-served coffee into the mix. The earth-toned convenient store helps satisfy a number of different consumer segments ranging from those who regularly visit corner stores, to those who are a bit more apprehensive about going to a quick service retail location.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Convenience Stores - The trend of upscale convenience stores that prioritize experience alongside convenience, offering a more curated and high-end selection of products to cater to different consumer segments.
2. Upscale Design Aesthetics - The trend of incorporating rich and visually appealing design elements, such as blond wood and chalkboard signage, in convenience store interiors to create an approachable but elevated atmosphere.
3. Diversification of Convenience Store Offerings - The trend of convenience stores expanding their product offerings beyond consumer packaged goods to include local craft beer, wines, and specialty coffee, catering to consumer preferences for more unique and artisanal products.
Industry Implications
1. Retail - The retail industry has an opportunity to disrupt the traditional convenience store model by introducing upscale design aesthetics and diversifying their product offerings to create a more premium experience for consumers.
2. Beverage - The beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of luxury convenience stores by partnering with retailers to showcase their high-end products, such as craft beer, wines, and specialty coffee, in these upscale retail environments.
3. Interior Design - The interior design industry can tap into the trend of upscale convenience stores by creating visually appealing and inviting store environments that combine elements of rustic charm with modern sophistication.
