On Thursday, Lauren posted a few Instagram stories on her account showing the progress at the location which is inside the historic Canada Permanent Building. One of the stories showed custom peach beer cans made by Polyrhythm Brewing with the Bar Trove label on them.

Earlier in the month, Lauren had shared more behind-the-scenes clips, including the installation of custom wood panels and a large antique mirror. In March, she posted updates of ceiling work with floral-patterned tiles and walls in progress.

Lauren first announced Bar Trove in January. She shared that the main floor will serve small plates with a French-style menu while the upper floors will be used for Trove Living and office space. Lauren co-owns Trove Living with her business partner Brittany Schulz.
