A store, not a machine in a corner
Open shelving, a cooler bank and a self-checkout kiosk built into millwork that matches the room you spent money on. In a leasing tour, that difference is the whole point.

The amenity that gets used at eleven at night.
Most amenities are used hardest in the first month of a lease and then quietly forgotten. A market in the clubhouse is the opposite — it gets used on a Tuesday night by someone who is not going to get in the car, and it keeps getting used.
What this building actually needs
Residential is not an office with beds.
The headcount logic is different. An office has a payroll number; a community has residents who are home at the hours the rest of the valley is closed. What matters is how many people live on site, what your occupancy actually is, and whether the clubhouse sits on a path people already walk — the mail room, the gym, the pool gate. A market twenty steps off that path performs like a market in a different building.
Something to show, and something to keep
New communities here compete against other new communities. An amenity that is genuinely open at midnight is easier to show on a tour than one more lounge, and it is still being used at renewal.
A welcome reward, not a coupon book
New residents can be given a personal welcome reward that they scan at the kiosk. It is a real hand-off from the leasing office rather than a flyer, and it gets the first visit to happen.

The build
Designed for a lobby, not a laundry room.
We specify against your actual finishes and sightlines, then place the build in your clubhouse in augmented reality at true scale so you and your ownership can approve it against the real room before anything is ordered.
- What the building provides
- Floor space, a standard outlet and access for the weekly restock. Skala owns the equipment, funds the inventory and carries the operating risk.
- Signed to stocked
- Four to six weeks, including the build, the fit-out and the first fill.
- The consultation is a call
- We work from your dimensions and photos and place the build in your room in augmented reality. A site visit happens only when the building genuinely needs one.
Augmented reality preview
Before you commit
See it standingin your own room.
Nobody should sign for a fixture they have only seen in a brochure. You can stand one in your own room right now, from your phone — and then we do the tailored version together on the call.
- Right now, on your phone
- Micromart’s own Location AR viewer puts a real unit in your space at true scale. Pick single, double or triple, and standard or wood finish. No app to download, iPhone or Android. We’re a Certified Micromart Pro Operator, so this is the actual hardware we install — not an approximation.
- Then, on the call
- We work from your dimensions and two or three photos and place the specified build in your room — footprint, height, sightlines, what it blocks and what it doesn’t — while you’re both looking at it, so you can say “move it left” and we do.
- Why it replaced the site visit
- Faster for you and more accurate than a tape measure and a conversation. We only come out in person if the site genuinely calls for it.
Apartment Communities, specifically
Questions we actually get.
How many units does a community need?
It is about people on site rather than a payroll number, so send us the unit count and your current occupancy and we will tell you honestly whether it will turn. A community that cannot move fresh food gets a shelf-stable assortment or a smart cooler instead — we would rather say that than install something that sits.
Where should it go?
On a path people already walk. Clubhouses that sit next to the mail room, the gym or the pool gate outperform ones tucked behind a leasing office, often by a lot. If the room is not finished yet, that is a decision worth making now rather than later.
Is it staffed? What stops it being emptied?
It is unattended, and checkout is account-based and camera-monitored. A market behind a resident-access door behaves very differently from a shop on a street. Some shrink is normal, it is priced into how we run the business, and it is Skala's risk rather than the community's.
What does the community have to provide?
Floor space, a standard outlet and access for a weekly restock. Skala owns the equipment and funds the inventory. Commercial terms are scoped on the call, because an occupied community and a building still under construction are structured differently.
Can we tell residents when new items land?
Yes — residents can ask us to carry something directly, and the ones who opt in hear when it arrives. It is a small thing that makes the market feel like it belongs to the community rather than to a vendor.
Residents shop differently from staff on a break — larger baskets, and frozen behaves in a way it simply does not in an office. what actually sells in a break-room market covers that split, including the frozen assortment we had built backwards and what to ask before a freezer goes into a lobby.
