Challenge
KaleMart24’s flagship location operates as the company’s central office, strategically located in downtown Montreal, near residential and business areas, and close to the renowned Centre Bell. The challenge was to design a space that embodies KaleMart24’s core values, offering organic, health-conscious foods at affordable prices while providing a superior food experience in a bustling environment.
Solution
Create a modern convenience store concept tailored to the urban lifestyle of younger generations. Customers are welcomed by a cozy, café-like atmosphere combined with the functionality of a supermarket. Carefully curated grab-and-go products and local offerings are strategically displayed to catch customers attention and increase footprint. The centrally positioned cash desk features product displays and services, including fresh-made smoothies. The store’s strong flooring, finishes, and signage reflect the brand’s core values, highlighting its focus on locally fresh products.
Result
The new store marks the successful franchise’s expansion, with plans to open multiple locations across Canada and the USA.
