Overview

A respectful identity refresh for a century-old grocery market modernizing without losing its soul.

The challenge

Northgate had a loyal following and a dated look. A full rebrand risked alienating regulars, while doing nothing risked fading away.

Our approach

We evolved rather than replaced — keeping the elements customers loved, sharpening the typography and system, and adding the flexibility the market needed for a new online store.

The outcome

The refreshed brand kept its regulars and drew a younger crowd. The new system carried cleanly into the online store, which opened to its strongest month yet.

A brand like this?

Every project starts with a conversation. Let's have one.
