Another one of these comes from [Convenience Store NQ](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-kum-kee), located on 100 High St in Northern Quarter Manchester, United Kingdom. There is little information about the destination on the Internet, however, the dim-lit ambiance, the convenience store-like decor, and the ornate bar paint a promising picture. Convenience Store NQ is marketed across social media platforms as "not another fuckin' [Tesco Express](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-shook-up),' signifying that the business itself is perhaps a rebellion of sorts. The pleasantly themed bar sets the grounds for an immersive and unique cocktail experience that will entice consumers to kick back and enjoy a drink or two. Whether you know you are walking into a bar or you simply think it is a convenience store, the atmosphere will surely be enough to make you stay.
