Designed by Paragon Solutions to have a more upscale feeling for consumers, the 5 Points Market convenient store design is focused on offering convenience, but not at the expense of experience. The richly appointed design aesthetic of the 5 Points Market places blond wood against more rustic features like chalkboard signage for an upscaled yet approachable overall experience.
While other convenience stores are focused more on consumer packaged goods, the 5 Points Market packs local craft beer and wines as well as barista-served coffee into the mix. The earth-toned convenient store helps satisfy a number of different consumer segments ranging from those who regularly visit corner stores, to those who are a bit more apprehensive about going to a quick service retail location.
