Kavanagh’s Food Market — Retail Branding & Packaging Design
“Kavanagh’s Food Market in Belsize Park is world-class with its design, freshly prepared meal solutions, strong value and presentation.”
Matthew Brown – Retail Trend Futurist
Project Overview
Kavanagh’s Belsize Park is a premium independent food market serving its local London community, known for high-quality fresh produce, food-to-go and specialist counters.
LMPP Studio partnered with Kavanagh’s to create a distinctive retail brand system that would unify the entire store experience — from signage and fresh food counters to packaging, POS and seasonal campaigns. The aim was to strengthen brand recognition, improve clarity in-store and create a warm, contemporary food market environment that felt both premium and welcoming.
The Challenge
Kavanagh’s needed a brand and visual system that could:
Work across a busy neighbourhood supermarket retail environment
Unify multiple food categories and fresh counters under one identity
Elevate food-to-go while maintaining quality and authenticity
Feel premium without becoming intimidating or corporate
Scale across seasonal campaigns, packaging and in-store communication
The challenge was to balance craft, clarity and character in a real, high-footfall retail setting.
Our Approach
LMPP Studio took a retail-first approach, designing from the customer journey inward.
We developed an illustration-led visual identity system that brought warmth, personality and clarity to the store while remaining highly functional in a supermarket retail environment.
Our approach focused on:
Clear visual hierarchy to aid navigation and choice
Bespoke illustration to celebrate food, craft and provenance
Distinct but connected visual cues across departments
Flexible assets for food-to-go, packaging and seasonal campaigns
Every element was designed to enhance the everyday shopping experience while reinforcing Kavanagh’s position as a trusted local food market.
The Results
The new branding transformed Kavanagh’s Belsize Park into a more confident, engaging and recognisable retail destination.
Improved in-store navigation and clarity
Stronger brand presence across fresh food and food-to-go
A warmer, more characterful food market environment
A scalable system supporting ongoing campaigns and growth
The result is a supermarket brand that feels premium, personable and deeply connected to its local community.
