Product Overview
The LEGO Friends Heartlake City Convenience Store is a 176-piece build that puts a mini-mart on the shelf, complete with stocked shelves, a checkout counter, and a sliding door. Two minidolls and a dog figure move the build into role-play, running grocery runs, shopping errands, and store duties. Small details like a cash register, shopping cart, basket, and stocked goods including donuts, juice boxes, strawberries, and popcorn fill out the shelves and give the scene something to organize and restock. It's a straightforward, approachable build suited to builders ages 5 and up.
