The environmental language of Sentry Foods had
to convey a comfort level to the upscale professional,
the frugal senior client, local medical staff, and
a university population. To leverage the store’s
familiar brand, a departmental identity program
was generated. The program included signage, packaging,
and all levels of visual communications themed around
taking pride in “America’s Market.”
Sculpted metal fish, theatrical lighting for produce,
agricultural wall murals, vineyard-like lighting
effects in the wine department, a warm and comfortable
color palette, and oversized decor and signage help
make this a unique offering.
