everything old is new again
Chaloner & Co. first opened its doors in the late 1800s as a tobacconist shop. In 2015, after 141 years of being an area favorite, it seemed the little shop had run its course. With the community mourning the loss of a landmark, local investors purchased the building with the vision of creating a drive-worth social venue.
discovery
Chaloner & Co. had life blown back into with major – but historically-minded – upgrades. A major addition to the original shop was Chaloner’s Cigar House, located upstairs from the retail area. The two assets of the brand needed to be distinctive but related. The brand also needed to remain relevant to its target market by being both nostalgic and new at the same time.
“this is where a quote will go. something about us being great.”
strategy
We worked together with the investors, their architect, and the operations manager to ensure that Chaloner & Co. logo refresh and Chaloner’s Cigar House brand development was in line with the team’s vision. It required honoring the past, a nod to modern times, and a top-notch experience for tobacco enthusiasts. The final identity package accomplished just that and allows for easily branded merchandise and applications to digital marketing.

results
With brand development in place, Chaloner & Co was able to work with their partners to successfully open both businesses in February 2019, after much anticipation from the community. They can continue to build the brand value with the foundation put in place with thoughtful and strategic development at the beginning of the project.
