The metropolitan convenience store
We designed the small supermarket concept for Magnit, the Russian retail giant with over 20.000 stores all over Russia. This urban convenience concept was developed for smooth everyday shopping. It is a friendly neighborhood store focusing on fresh food and ready-made meals, with completely redesigned interior and new assortments, making the overall ambiance more emotional and also digitalizing every aspect of the store.
“Smooth everyday shopping”
The home of everyday family food
We created an atmosphere of freshness through presentation, materials and communications – mixing a playful tone of voice with a well-thought-out total shopping experience. The aim of the concept design is to reconnect Magnit with the urban Russian consumer and show the care about food that the brand is all about.
Several journeys in one store
This store concept is particularly focused on the fresh categories, which is more than 35% of the space. We made the layout with three different types of shopping trips in mind. A customer wishing to stock up on products for the entire family can easily make their way through all products categories. The 'novelty enthusiast' passes the fresh categories, coffee, ready-to-eat meals, and ends at self-service checkouts. The 'quick shopper' spends less time shopping in a journey that includes the most attractive propositions in the fruits and vegetables area, as well as dairy and drinks. We added bakeries and a tea time area (sweets/confectionary/cafe) where customers can sit down for a quick bite.
Enhanced digital functionality
The store is outfitted with digital solutions in order to help customers shop, reduce time for purchases, and also optimize processes for the store personnel. The store is the first store in Russia to have dual-mode checkouts that can work both as self-service terminals and as standard cashier-operated checkouts. LED screens communicate useful content; and make communication with customers more interactive. There are also digital shelf edge screens with product information.
