8 Of The Most Beautiful Grocery Shops In The World

A grocery shop doesn't normally do much - strip lighting, a trolley with one bad wheel, a queue for the tills. Which makes it all the more striking when one gets this right. The ones on this list weren't built for convenience: they're set inside a nineteenth-century Milanese delicatessen, an Essendon warehouse turned Italian food theatre, and a Tribeca corner that's made the weekly shop feel like a lifestyle statement. Whether you're stocking up or just passing through, these are worth a diversion.
