18 | Channel Focus Supermarkets Breaking out of the big box The Market proves that good things—especially grocery shops—can come in small packages By Susie McManus G rocery shoppers have grown tired of oversized, overstuffed stores offering more brands of tortilla chips than there are letters in the alphabet. As foodies trend away from large superstores, the lure—and creation— of intimate, smaller-scaled grocery markets is on the rise. After seeing the average supermarket size rise from 2002 through 2006, the median average store size is now on a two-year decline. The Food Marketing Institute reports that in 2006, the average store size was 48,750 sq. ft., compared to only 46,755 sq. ft. in 2008. No community understands the appeal of minimized markets better than The Pinehills, a planned development in Plymouth, Mass., which has conserved 2,000 of its 3,174 acres as open space. Recently, The Pinehills added The Market, an upscale food store that offers both gourmet and everyday grocery items in a 13,500-sq.-ft. space dwarfed by the average mega market. The Market was conceptualized by Newton, Mass.-based New England Development with the help of Eden Prairie, Minn.-based Store Design Services (formerly Design Services Group), which is a subsidiary of SUPERVALU. “Our goal [for The Market] was to create a small-format store, but with full service, so it has everyday items and gourmet foods,” says Harry Steen, creative director for Store Design Services. “Most stores are boring square boxes,” adds Michael Szathmary, managing director of The Market. “We wanted to design a footprint store that is exciting and out of the norm, that doesn’t make you feel like you’re just walking up and down aisles.” New England Development worked with Store Design Services for approximately nine months | July 2009
