Convenience stores, everyone’s go-to place for food and other essentials, are often designed for a customer to quickly drop by and leave. Even if you do plan to stay for a quick snack (which isn’t really encouraged or allowed, depending on what pandemic restriction its location is currently under), it’s not really the best place for winding down or relaxing. And that’s totally fine—convenience stores, after all, are not coffee shops, but one store in Pampanga is definitely close to looking like one.
Here's the deal on this cozy convenience store in Pampanga:
O.range is a 126sqm concept convenience store of highly curated products. “We wanted to make the interiors to be not too intimidating for people,” says Studio B&T's interior designer Khristle Prado, who created the space together with interior designer Bea Dalistan.
The effort is evident right away upon entering; your usual white fluorescent tubes are replaced with unobtrusive mix of white and warm pin lights and drop lamps.
Wooden shelves contain interesting picks from snacks to mugs, and off to one corner is a bar with high stools for those interested to have a quiet cup of coffee. Two-seater sets are also available.
This is, in fact, is O.range’s signature look. “We actually based our design [on] the branding on O.range convenience store made by Festoon Co.,” says Prado. “The interior is a mix of playful and industrial design. It has a fresh and vibrant color palette combined with oriental inspired patterns.”
It’s a far cry from your typical white-walled spartan stores. The designer continues, “Originally, the ceiling is a typical white acoustic usually seen in some convenience stores. We had it painted black and added baffle ceiling with a curved design for a distinctive element to the space.”
You can get a variety of snacks, drinks, and light eats at O.range, many of which come from Korea or Japan. There are biscuits, savory chips, instant noodles, canned goods, and even items for cooking like teriyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise.
Don't forget the drinks: They've got different sodas to go with your salty snacks, or bottled coffee to help you get through a lazy afternoon. And of course, there's soju!
Aside from the previously mentioned bar, this O.range branch also has a coffee bar which neon lights, which was the idea of the client, who is a coffee lover. You can get cups of joe here made with Arabica beans originating from South America.
“O.range is unlike your traditional convenience store,” says the design duo. “It’s also place where one can have a break.”
