Brick City Posted April 6, 2016 Hey, hey, hey! Theo here, with a work in progress! Today I have the opportunity to show you my Grocery store modular. This was made up of random pieces (mostly from the Pet Shop, Palace Cinema, and Parisian Restaurant sets) from my collection, and is my best attempt at a Modular building MOC yet. This post will be rather picture heavy, so I'll try to make things brief. Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr This creation sits on a 32x32 grey baseplate. I haven't I been counting the pieces, but it must be somewhere in the thousands by now. Remember, this is still a WIP. Here's a view from the front... Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr ...and the back... Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr ...sorry, the back is pretty ugly, but the plan is to have it butting up to a wall, so it won't be seen. The hole next to the doors is temporary. I was originally going to put a garage door there, but I decided not too, as it would overly complicate things, and it wouldn't really matter functionally. Sometimes, you have to economize. And now for some exterior shots: Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr The sidewalk is pretty straightforward. It isn't completely modular-compatible, but it wont be facing a street either, so it's all good. Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr One of the main features on the front are the French doors. Here, one of the employees, Greg, is opening up the shop. A top view of the French doors: Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr The SNOT bricks above the doors will hold some detail later, I just don't know what. Any suggestions for some facade details? Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr The flag is just a temporary addition. I'll try to work through all the European flags. In the meantime, this shop is in The Netherlands. Here are some window details: Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr The billboard/shop sign is a work in progress. Eventually I will print off some stickers to put on it. Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr I didn't bother to post the chimney here, as it's really ugly, but in time I'll fix it. And now for the interior: Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr The entire first floor is the grocery shop. I modeled this (sort-of) after my local Whole Foods. I'm not sure if they have Whole foods stores outside of the US, but the idea is similar to any good grocery store: healthy, nutritious food, with a good selection. Unfortunately, my store doesn't exactly have optimal selection, but again, this is still a work in progress. Some random shots of the inside of the store: Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr And now, to the second floor... The second floor consists of a small coffee shop, and the in-store restaurant. It has a small counter, a brick oven, and various appliances. Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr Here, Larry the Pirate orders a coffee, and a cupcake. Pirates need their energy at the beginning of the day, you know. Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr So that about wraps things up for now. I will be coming back with updates as things progress. Comments, Praise, and anything else is welcome below. I'd love to hear from you all. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junior Shark Posted April 6, 2016 Very nice. The olive green coloring really speaks to me. And ditto on those French doors- they're ace! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iammac Posted April 6, 2016 Triple complements on the French doors! A grocery store, eh? Most of the ones where I live also have a bakery inside...just something you might find useful in the future. Shop looks great, very modular! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick City Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks everyone! Yes, a bakery and a butcher are planned for the future-and yes, I do think that the olive green looks great- it has a sort of natural look to it that I feel is great for a grocery store. I'm planning on finishing the roof and façade first. Once I have that to my liking, I'll finish up the interior. Stay tuned :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick City Posted April 7, 2016 Hi everyone. Just a quick update. I've built a small restroom upstairs to accommodate any patrons. Untitled by brickcity868, on Flickr The plates sticking out of the side will hold a small sink. Stay tuned! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyro690 Posted April 7, 2016 Love the doors, and overall design of the building. I've never shopped at a Whole Foods but no shopping carts? Just one or two would help the "look" . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delbaerov Posted April 7, 2016 Love the design, are you planning to tile the floor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick City Posted April 7, 2016 Love the doors, and overall design of the building. I've never shopped at a Whole Foods but no shopping carts? Just one or two would help the "look" . They're in the works. I just need to get more small wheeled pieces. Love the design, are you planning to tile the floor? Yup, after my next pick-a-brick visit.

Brick City Posted April 13, 2016 Hello everyone! Theo back with another update! Here, I have added a counter, and fixed that gaping hole in the back. It has been replaced with a SNOT roll-up "door".
