The Convenient Store

  • Free
  • Events

A retail offer like no other, The Convenient Store stocks a keen-eyed edit of food and drink, mixing the high and the low, showcasing the very best Victoria has to offer, from the mass-made to the deeply bespoke and everything in between.

Part Japanese convenience-store, part Brooklyn bodega, and presented in partnership with 7-Eleven, it sells an array of fresh snacks that includes a Melbourne Food and Wine Festival-edition cherry-blossom Tokyo Lamington, spiced nuts from hit Richmond restaurant Jeow, an exclusive Hot and Sassy flavour from Chappy’s Chips, panettone hot-cross buns from To Be Frank, ferments from celebrated Cockatoo Korean chef Jung Eun Chae, tricked-up bickies from Miss Trixie, and caramelised ghee from Enter Via Laundry.

From 4pm to 7pm daily the store transforms into Melbourne’s hottest new bar, showcasing a cocktail list of Slurpee cocktails as well as custom MFWF canned cocktails plus great Victorian wines and purpose-brewed beer for a truly happy hour.
