Camden’s MEGUNTICOOK MARKET and PHI HOME DESIGNS in Rockport recently partnered to create a more inviting storefront, complete with plenty of space for new signage and lighting. As part of an ongoing rebranding effort, the goal was to present a friendlier approach to the market, as well as more space for prepared foods and “grab-and-go” goods. Lani Stiles, owner of Megunticook Market, was looking for a well-rounded solution for an improved inside and outside, and she selected Phi Home as collaborator based on their custom-cabinetry-building expertise.
