gourmet treats

after a wonderful, restful fall break, we are ready to begin our design of our very own retail space. i am actually excited to have the opportunity to do this because it is something i am very interested in. i chose to sale gourmet fudge (a small selection of flavors), pralines, and a small selection of nuts. every time we go down to charleston, sc, we always go to this fudge shop called river street sweets. they are known around the world for their fudge and pralines and to add a personal tough every thing is homemade. to add an even more personal touch, they customize gift boxes and tins to any occasion whether chirstmas, birthdays, weddings or any others. all gift boxes, towers, tins and any other holder for the candy always look sophisticated and well designed. for a more modern look i took inspiration from chocloate which had very colorful, simple and fun gift boxes. overall, in my store i am going to focus on those three main products and how they are displayed and boxed for people. i plan on taking a few field trips to some chocolate stores to further my inspiration and ideas...

to answer the questions asked...
i believe this store makes since at revolution mills because this store is a a higher quality of fudge, pralines and nuts with gift boxes appropriate for corporate events, christmas, birthdays and so on.
the store appeals to the people willing to spend a little extra for a more fulfilling and scrumptious taste. great for gifts and corporate purposes.
this store is unique to greensboro because there is not many places you can find great sweets that are packaged with care, design, and letting the receiver know they are getting the best quality of fudge, pralines and nuts around.
yes, this products allows for a creative display from allowing buyers to see the products actually being made to the fixtures they are displayed on to the beautiful boxes they will be taken away in.
