Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The 4,500sq ft Kampus General Store will feature independent, artisan food and drink sitting alongside daily essentials. A regular series of local collaborators will showcase new produce with a focus on local specialists from butchers and greengrocers to gin makers and wine merchants. Visiting local producers will have the opportunity to use the store’s mezzanine space for tastings and workshops as part of their residency.
The store will also stock independent food brands from Middle Eastern specialists The Ottö-Men, to sustainable meat from MeatCo Manchester, and the Great North Pie Co.
In addition, Kampus General Store will bring a zero-waste, household essential refill hub enabling customers to fill up their own containers with cereals, washing up liquid, lentils, sugar, and pasta.
Mital Morar, Store Retail Group, said: “Kampus is something pretty different in the city. It’s a neighbourhood with a strong sense of community and a very independent feel, which is exactly what we’re about.
“Kampus General Store will be right at the heart of the neighbourhood, where the convenience of a corner shop meets local artisan food and drink. We love putting down roots in new neighbourhoods and being part of the journey as they grow, which is exactly what we’re looking forward to doing at Kampus.”
Kampus General Store is due to open in the autumn.
