Whole Foods Market’s first-ever Daily Shop opened on Manhattan’s Upper East Side—and CM&B was proud to help bring this bold new concept to life. Designed for the daily grab-and-go customer, this 9,100-SF store demanded big-picture thinking from day one. From guiding lease negotiations and pre-development planning to managing custom fixtures, overseas shipments, and urban site logistics, CM&B helped turn a fast-paced retail vision into a fully realized format built for the rhythm of city life.
