Located in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand, Sourced Grocers is a unique supermarket that offers an array of high quality products along with fresh menu options that are prepared in-house.
While its elegantly arranged products adorn the boutique grocer's retail displays -- shelves that surround the envelope of the market's structure -- its fresh menu items are offered at a separate kiosk that is accompanied with a cafeteria-inspired seating area.
Sourced Grocers' interior is designed by creative studio Whitespace and consist of black and white tile finishes, vintage-themed signage and warm wood counters and shelves that add warmth to its otherwise stark palette. This sophisticated supermarket fuses traditional and modern elements to create an upscale food shopping experience for consumers -- one that offers high quality products in a chic and inviting space.
