Under a peaked glass roof sits a tiny 24 hour mini mart: two glass-door fridges stocked with drinks, a pink checkout counter with a card reader and till, a red shopping basket, a yellow vending stand, a popcorn machine, snack shelves, cup noodles and a little cat poster on the wall. Switch on the light and the whole shop glows like a corner store at midnight.
A little crafter's folklore: miniaturists say every tiny shop needs one thing that would never be sold in a real one, and collectors like to hide a treasure among the snacks for visitors to find.
Why this kit: if you love everyday city scenes, the convenience store is instantly recognisable and packed with tiny packaging details. It is a good first room build, and the clear front panel keeps dust off the finished shop.
In the box: pre-cut wooden and plastic parts for the room and furniture, a wooden peaked roof frame, two clear acrylic panels for the roof and front, printed paper sheets for the wall art, signs and packaging, tiny accessories, an LED light with a push-switch base, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries for the light, glue, and tools such as tweezers and scissors.
Part of a connectable room series: line rooms up side by side, stack them, or build an L-shape or a grid to make a whole miniature street or house. Pair it with the Milk Tea Shop, Cat Cafe and Bakery Shop rooms. Build tip: assemble the floor and walls first, furnish the room from the back wall forward, then add the roof frame, slide in the clear panels and fit the light last.
Size: 16.5 x 16.5 x 19.5 cm (6.5 x 6.5 x 7.7 in), 1:24 scale, 92 pieces. A fun shelf or desk display, and a gift for anyone who loves late-night snacks and city life. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
