The continued success of online shopping has forced retailers to get creative with their offerings and the new Country Road lifestyle concept store in Melbourneโs Albert Park is testament to this. With its chic marble hexagonal floor tiles and in-house cafe, not only areย shoppers able to purchase the iconic Aussie brandโs Man, Woman, Child and Home collections, they can stop for a coffee at the storeโs cafรฉย too.
โAfter the success of our Sorrento store of a similar concept, we felt Albert Park was a wonderful location to continue our complete lifestyle offering,โ says managing director Darren Todd of the store that is housed in a heritage-listed building.
The cafรฉ, titled โParkโ is a stylishย collaboration between Country Road and Melbourne hospitality ventures Almond Milk Co and Tommy Collinsโ bakery โThe Hamptons,’ and features plenty of gorgeous interior details including a large marble bench top, cognac leather banquette seating and timber stools. The heritage siteย also features original gold door handles, high ceilings, wooden beams and large metal frame windows – the loftinessย contributingย to a feeling of bringing the outdoors in.
The latest Country Road store opening is part of a larger plan for the brand that is trying to create a complete lifestyle experience for its customers and in great news, there will be further openings this year and in early 2017 too.
