A Modern General Store - Brilliant!
The following is an example of a good idea that has been well-executed.
The Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa & Casino decided to transform one of its seasonal restaurants into a modern general store–a 1,300-sq. ft. specialty gift shop, grocery and gourmet market for guests and resort visitors seeking quick and affordable bites throughout the day (6 a.m. to 8 p.m.), as well as grab-and-go items.
It’s a place guests can go to stock up on provisions for their rooms or grab supplies for a picnic, with offerings ranging from breakfast breads/pastries and granola to salads, grilled panini sandwiches and fresh-baked cookies or fresh-fruit smoothies. They even offer boxed s’mores kits complete with a long roasting stick to use at the resort’s fire pits.
Sound good? Well it looks even better. Designed by Cass Calder Smith and his team at CCS Architecture, Tahoe Provisions is a streamlined, sophisticated and modern but welcoming space.
Natural materials like black walnut and hickory walls, blackened steel, and black granite countertops contrast rustic with refined. Walnut merchandise carts with unfinished edging add another rustic element, while a display wall of provisions changes seasonally, providing visual interest.
And custom-designed chairs and tables equipped with power access provide seating for up to 18 guests, who can check e-mail while watching televisions built into the wall.
“At the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, in our location on Lake Tahoe’s North Shore in Incline Village, many of our guests are content to spend every moment enjoying the resort. With the addition of Tahoe Provisions, guests will have approachably-priced items conveniently on hand without leaving the property,” says General Manager Mark Pardue.
