OVERVIEW

A grocery store that meshes the boundaries between local food vendors and larger grocery store conglomerate chains. How does this relationship affect the architecture and interior of the space? What do these interactions look like?

This honours the Latinx street vendors of Marshall Square by providing a space to sell their prepared foods, providing a culturally rich shopping experience, and making secure revenue year-round. At the same time, our store dedicates its second and third floors to provide the necessary items one would need in their household. This is a welcoming, bustling bottom floor filled with warm 'hello's' and deliciously familiar smells that travel through all floors through its open, fragmented design.
