"Imagine this: you walk into your favorite café to grab a latte and leave with a beautifully wrapped jar of locally produced honey and a size medium super-comfortable hoodie bearing the café’s logo, which you've admired for some time. Or picture stopping by a convenience store while you fill up on gas only to discover a freshly made grain bowl paired with kombucha on tap. These scenarios aren’t just isolated experiences — they’re becoming the new norm as the lines between restaurants and retail continue to blur. This shift is transforming how we eat, shop, and even think about dining spaces. From cupcake shops selling home goods to gas stations offering gourmet meals, the convergence of food and retail is here — and it’s reshaping both industries, hospitality and retail."
