My mentor for the Grocery store portion of my project is Alexis Bounds, Store Planning and Design Specialist for Associated Grocers. Her experience and insight with grocery store planning has been invaluable as she is very up-to-date with current industry trends. There also is very little available to the public on grocery/supermarket planning and design. I have met with Alexis three times since October with one being a site visit to Fresh Market. I have been corresponding regularly with Alexis since September by email and Alexis has sent numerous emails to me with links to suppliers, equipment and industry news.
At our last meeting, Alexis and I discussed the color trends that grocery stores are leaning towards and which stores have had success with these colors. I want to design my grocery store, which is a fresh market, around a "French Market" design theme. The current industry colors, which are earthy and natural, will work well with this concept. My inspiration for this idea came from a grocery store in Canada name Eataly.
