ISP/VM+SD Store Design Competition Winner
| Tweet |
Rather than compete with its high-profile location – New York’s Times Square – the M&M’s World store takes inspiration from it. Housed in a 25,000-square-foot, three-level glass box, the megastore features two massive LED screens mounted on the exterior and M&M’s Brand Characters with New York flair inside.
Blue Fever takes cues from “Saturday Night Fever” in a Swarovski crystal-encrusted white leisure suit. A 17-foot-tall Green M&M mimics the Statue of Liberty, while Red is a high-rise window washer. Other store features include a subway-inspired ceiling graphic and illuminated pillars that are choreographed to change color simultaneously with the exterior signage.
