\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNew retro grocery store Oddmart opening in Wynwood this summer actually sells nothing edible because it’s an immersive retail store.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Not everything is what it seems at this pop-up retro grocery store opening in Wynwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At first glance, the shelves at Oddmart<\/a>, a self-described retro grocery store, appear to be stocked with familiar brands like Cheez-It, Pop-Tarts, Liquid Death, and Cheetos. But take a closer look and\u2014it\u2019s a sock?<\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s the concept behind Odd Sox\u2019s \u201cimmersive\u201d (their words) retail experience, Oddmart. It takes some of the most recognizable snack and beverage brands and turns them into wearable items\u2014well, pretty much socks, underwear, and hats.<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s a fake grocery store full of apparel disguised as merchandise<\/p>\n

A grocery store where nothing is actually food<\/p>\n

Following its Tampa debut, Oddmart will make its way down to Miami. It\u2019ll pop up at 285 NW 27th St. in Wynwood from June 26 through July 19. It\u2019s a fake grocery store full of apparel disguised as merchandise, which ought to feel right at home in the ultra-commercialized, present-day landscape of Wynwood. It\u2019s free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

The shop will be adorned with a custom mural by Golden305 (AKA Cristhian Saravia) as a nod to Wynwood\u2019s street art scene. Saravia is known for his ultra-vivid works and devilish, almost Sanrio-like characters that should feel right at home on Oddmart\u2019s fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

After it wraps up in Miami, the shop will move on to Las Vegas, New York, and Tokyo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve built a global brand around turning the world\u2019s most recognized names into products people actually want to wear,\u201d said Ahmad Akar, founder and CEO of Odd Sox, in a statement. \u201cOddmart is that idea brought to life in physical form, and Wynwood felt like the perfect home for it. As one of the most creative neighborhoods in the world, it represents exactly the kind of energy we built this experience for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Oddmart is much smaller in scope than Omega Mart, but it still promises plenty of visual gags<\/p>\n

Think Omega Mart, but smaller<\/p>\n

Oddmart feels like it\u2019s in the vein of Meow Wolf\u2019s Omega Mart<\/a>, which debuted in Las Vegas in 2021. The interactive art market features custom-made products available for purchase as well as hidden rooms and interactive displays.<\/p>\n

That being said, Oddmart is much smaller in scope than Omega Mart. However, it still promises plenty of visual gags, photo ops, and activations. Think retro signage, candy displays, and fridges full of recognizable brand names. There\u2019s a giant Cheez-It box and a bowl of cereal perfect for photo opportunities. And everything is painted in comically garish colors meant to overload your senses.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to Odd Sox, Oddmart is meant to be walked through and photographed. This makes it perfectly calibrated for the Instagram era. If you just want to wander through, dodge the influencers, and snap some photos for your feed without spending a dime, go right ahead.<\/p>\n

Oddmart. Noon to 8 p.m. Friday, June 26, through Sunday, July 19, at 285 NW 27th St., Miami; oddsox.com<\/a>. Admission is free.<\/p>\n
