Grand Creek Supermarket
Creating a unique, green-focused brand identity for a home-grown, community supermarket
A Fresh New Project
EXECUCOMM was approached by the owner of the establishment with a unique challenge: to create a brand for a grocery store that was yet to be fully realized. Embracing the opportunity, we collaborated closely with the owner, delving into his vision and long-term goals. With a strong emphasis on community, we adopted a hands-on approach, ensuring that every detail resonated with the owner's aspirations and the supermarket's future customers.

The Naming of Grand Creek
The Supermarket was set to become a cornerstone of its hometown, offering a modern, community-centric shopping experience. Located in the heart of the community, the supermarket aims to provide not just groceries but a place where people feel connected and valued. The owner’s vision was clear: to create a supermarket that goes beyond transactions, fostering a sense of belonging and pride among its patrons.
Understanding the significance of the community, we named the supermarket “Grand Creek,” paying homage to its roots while highlighting its anticipated growth and prominence. The name encapsulates the spirit of the hometown and the grandeur of the supermarket’s offerings and future expansion.
The Logo
The logo features modern earthy green and mustard undertones complemented by a muted neutrality. To reflect the owner’s commitment to wholesome goods and experiences, we incorporated various shades of green in the design. The logo's simplicity is enhanced by green tones and mustard accents, with diverse colors and letters symbolizing the variety of goods, services and people.

It encapsulates the supermarket’s mission to make shopping a delightful and straightforward activity. This phrase became a central element of our branding strategy, resonating with the community’s desire for an enjoyable and effortless shopping experience.
By incorporating this tagline, we aimed to create a sense of excitement and anticipation, encouraging customers to embrace the Grand Creek shopping journey. The straightforwardness of the tagline aligns perfectly with the owner’s vision of a welcoming and accessible supermarket.
