Remember when we first told you about the “alternative format” Spinx convenience store that’s planned for the former The Cook’s Station location at 659 S. Main St.? We think the project just got even cooler.

The locally-owned company — known for its gas stations and car washes — submitted updated plans to Greenville’s Design Review Board. Unveiling a retro-theme for the downtown market, they call the aesthetic “1950s chrome-era.”

According to the Upstate Business Journal, a representative of The Spinx Company said the old Coca Cola mural — which was removed from the former Army Navy Store — was an inspiration for the market’s design.

The shop will offer convenience and grocery items, food offerings, and will feature an outdoor patio for sipping beer + wine on-site. No timeline for construction or opening has been announced.
