The store will be open from 8am to 10pm to cater for the employee customers who buys snacks for work as well as the after work crowd.
Concept box
Passing by the store, the protruded platform of the store will catch the attention of the shoppers. Upon entering the 120 sqm store, the shoppers vision will be guided by the continuous spirally linear floor to ceiling structure acute to the walls of the store which lead them further into the store. The structure constitutes of a cashier counter and display shelves for the product. Mirrors walls are also being situated at the foremost wall upon entering the store. This creates an illusion to the shoppers, making the store look more spacious. The ceiling of the store is extruded with conceal lights of the plan view of the shelves. The lighting of the store is dim to give a soft and smooth ambience.
