'Convenience Bar' is the name of a new convenience store-themed restaurant and bar that is set to open in Toronto, which is positioning itself as a "#newthrowback." As its name might suggest, Convenience Bar will operate as both a convenience store and a bar, offering a range of grab-and-go goods, as well as sit-down food and alcoholic drinks.
Up until the new bar and restaurant opens later this year in November, Convenience Bar is sharing a variety of nostalgic items on its Instagram feed, including everything from View-Master toys to boom box cassette players.
Convenience Bar has adopted a bold red, white and blue palette and retro branding that appeals to a Millennial's nostalgic sensibilities.
