A love letter Argentina  Mexico  Spain  US  Uruguay
(From) Ciudad de México

Olá,
Rapha.

Yes, this page exists only for you. We checked — you're the only Rapha we'd like to work with.

(Who is) Writing to you

The Cool Store Club.® is an international collective of independent studios that designs and builds stores, restaurants and hospitality spaces as cultural objects.

One point of contact. A team curated per project. One shared standard: if it's not special, it's not worth building.

(We did) Our homework

We've been
paying attention.

2021.

Burger King. You took the blue out of a whopper of a brand. Cannes said Gold.

2023.

Fanta. Bold, not boring. Noted. We agree.

2026.

You made Coca-Cola more Coca-Cola. One bold visual system, two hundred markets.

& then.

Your remit ends with two quiet words: retail design. That's the part we couldn't stop thinking about.

(What we) Believe

Not an agency.
Not a network.
A club.

Most retail is forgettable. Built fast, repeated endlessly, stripped of meaning. We exist because that should not be the standard.

We don't do retail. We make it matter.

No portfolio on this page. No case studies. No 40-slide deck.
If this made you smile — that's the work.

(What the club) Can do

Complete stores.
From idea to reality.

We don't sell fragmented scopes. One conversation opens every discipline a space needs:

01.Strategy & conceptthe idea worth building
02.Architecture & interiorsflagships to pop-ups
03.Furniture & objectsdown to the last fixture
04.Graphics & digitalsignage to screens
05.Light, sound & scentthe part you feel
06.Art & installationsreasons to visit twice
07.Film, photo & pressthe story travels
08.Execution & launchbuilt, not rendered

Led locally, built globally — the right studios assemble around each idea. The structure adapts to the project. Never the other way around.

(The people) Writing this letter

Three studios.
One belief.

WORC Studio

Ricardo Martínez

WORC Studio
Architecture & spatial direction · CDMX + Madrid

He leads the spaces — and, for now, the club. Third generation to celebrate good news with a cold one. Raising the fourth.

Diego Navarro

Diego Navarro

Strategeek
Brand strategy & digital · CDMX

He shapes how the club thinks, speaks — and flirts. He built this page. Say hi.

Zaickz Moz

Zaickz Moz

MOSS Agency
Visual direction, photo & film · CDMX + worldwide

He makes the work look the way it deserves. Family job, age eight: running to the tienda for the cold bottle before sobremesa. Never once forgot el envase.

(Um) Detalhe

0Mexicans who order it by its first name: "una coquita."
0founders in Mexico City, unreasonably excited to meet you.

(No) Ask

This is not a pitch. There's no button, no calendar link, no form.

We just wanted to be in your head for ninety seconds. The rest, we'd rather do in person.

Um brinde.

Com carinho,
The Cool Store Club · Ciudad de México

(P.S. — One) Last thing

Você é curioso.

Three taps. Nobody taps three times. Curiosity happens to be the first membership requirement — consider this your informal interview. You passed.
