Whole Foods Avalon Flagship

2014, Alpharetta, Georgia

 

Whole Foods is promoting its sustainability cred in stores.

 

We helped Whole Foods launch their newest flagship store with four retail interventions—each with a deliberate raison d'etre. A responsive end cap mirror disrupted traffic and enticed aisle entry. A social wall in the cafe, Farm Meet Table, connected customers with the source of their food—local farmers and providers. With Perfect Pairings, shoppers used their sense of taste as an entry point to discovering new wines, beers and cheeses. And an analog-interactive wooden signage platform, Wise Wood, invited shoppers to learn through play.

“Whole Foods’ store of the future tackles sustainability with digital displays.”
