Kitchen's Grocery



Kitchen's Grocery Store (2016)
Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Commercial, Supermarket, Pharmacy

Kitchen's Grocery, or kitchen's, is a made-up grocery store that I designed in the lot of the former Piggly Wiggly off Eisenhower Parkway, near Pep Boys Auto Center. The grocery store consist of a supermarket, pharmacy, deli café, and other typical grocery store accessories. The building had been vacant, and I just replaced it, with this new store building, with a simple grocery store kick to it. I doubled up the cornices of the building, excluding the entrance end of the building. The entrance has three automatic doors, and the two manual doors to the Deli Café. There's not much interesting, besides the building. It's just to bring convenience to the locals in the neighborhood, since there's barely any grocery stores in the area since Piggly Wiggly closed down.

Kitchen's Grocery ad is just a spoof under the influence of the Seth Rogan animated film 'Sausage Party'. In the ad, The girl eats the pear family's father figure, in other words, she's eating a pear, while the pear's wife and kids go through horror! The ad has the slogan 'Every food's death camp' with 'death' smeared out. There's nothing positive about the ad.




The directory of Kitchen's Grocery just shows the areas of where every section is located. The backroom has no details on the plan. From what you see, This is not like most 2000s style grocery stores, as it has a metro-confused shopping pattern, like I did with 'Murder' Kroger. The measurement is in English, based on feet.


The approximate 13 1/3 x 12 3/4 foot sign would replace the former Piggly Wiggly sign. It would make more sense, to place Pep Boys underneath since the original sign has them labeled, as well. The blank space is just incase of later development, or any surrounding businesses to use it for their signage.


The 360 degree video shows the store building. Also, I sealed off the west driveway to give the store a more clean look, and not being fully surrounded by driveways.


The sitemap should make the store location very clear. Kitchen's would replace the former building and it would function as a typical grocery store. This area goes way back! Just west, was where I designed that crappy Westgate Renaissance (which I did regret), also recently, I designed a breakfast restaurant to replace the local IHOP and Taco Bell, and branded it is Bob Evans. Right across Pio Nono, and Eisenhower, (diagonal Northwest) is where I designed a Costco Wholesale. Also, I was placing several other options where I had put Kitchen's; The original plan was to open a Harris Teeter grocery store, but instead of trying to place a known brand, I wanted to just create something of my own.


How did I come up with the name 'Kitchen's' with a lowercase 'k' and a period instead of a comma? Well, Most of what the store sells goes where in your house? In the kitchen. The name isn't after anyone, but just a title. There are names of several brands that are named after typical places, animals, and objects; for example Chili's, Shark's Fish & Chicken, and I had also assumed Church's chicken, but that doesn't count, since it was named off the founder. Kitchen's, on the other hand, is just named after the kitchen's in every house and facility in the world. The lowercase k, and the period, are just to make the title less amusing.

The grocery store is every food's death camp!
