Field Notes: Los Angeles 📍​
​Grocery shopping, but make it an experience.​

Our team stopped by Laurel Supply in LA, a design-forward organic grocery and café from the team behind Laurel Hardware. Blending premium groceries, prepared foods, coffee, and hospitality-inspired touches, the concept feels more like a curated lifestyle destination than a traditional neighborhood market.​
​
It's another example of how the lines between grocery, dining, and hospitality continue to blur—and how thoughtful design can turn an everyday errand into a reason to linger.​

One missed detail. Twelve markets. The same problem on repeat.​
​
When lessons learned on one project don't carry over to the next, small oversights become costly patterns.​
​
WD's Connected Delivery approach changes that—connecting teams, insights, and ex*****on across an entire rollout so every project benefits from the one before it.​

Culto Futbol in Miami is a First Place Winner in the VMSD Retail Renovation Competition! 🏆​
​
This flagship was designed for the fans. Gilded gold accents and bold, tactile materials create a dramatic backdrop that lets Culto Futbol's colorful apparel take center stage. Turning a store visit into a celebration of the culture of the game. ⚽​

A vendor decision that comes in too late throws off the schedule. It happens on one store. Then it happens again on the next ten. Connected Delivery, by WD Partners, connects those lessons across the whole rollout (not just the one project) so the next ten stores don't repeat it.​
