In October 2023, the esteemed British supermarket chain, renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation, opened its new branch in Sudbury, UK. The new store introduced a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics in its interior design, achieved through the use of Formica® Laminate.

Under the guidance of the in-house Store Design Team, Formica Laminate was artfully incorporated into various sections of the store, elevating both durability and visual appeal. From the sleek F8552 Black Birchply adorning the Coffee Stands to the biophilic charm of F8793 Green Slate in the cashiers' areas, every material selection in the interior space was carefully curated to resonate with the brand's philosophy.

Practical considerations seamlessly fused with design aesthetics, represented by laminate decors like F5344 Seed in Compact, ensuring longevity without compromising style. Moreover, the store’s layout was optimised to enhance the overall shopping experience, fostering engagement and convenience for customers.
