Back in 2012, a new convenience store was built at the south east corner of downtown Kokomo. It was meant to be a gateway to downtown, so no simple (nee 'boring') facade would do. So along comes Scott Pitcher of Fortune Mgmt to help create a whimsical surface and wall for the business. The materials are mostly recycled from other buildings, especially former schools. Material was also created by Kokomo Opalescent Glass.
Everything appears to be angled and out of place which is especially hard to do when you have straight and square walls....it's an illusion! It definitely gets your attention as you drive or walk through downtown.
Inside, the store is pretty typical of you expectations for a convenience store. This one is a little unique because it has a drive through as well.
Inside, I found lots of food, mainly snacks, and beverage items.
I did find it especially quiet during my visit. I saw a car at the drive through, but didn't hear anyone talking. I felt like I was in the store by myself.
