Meat and cheese shop

[Remi]

Browsing through the end credits concept art, there looks to have been a deli planned at some point...

 

 

A Dutch looking one at that. On Mêlée?

[Thrik]

It's daytime outside! If it's Melee Island, maybe it's from the cut content somebody here speculated about where Cog Island and the Melee clock were intertwined in some sort of time of day puzzle.

Nice  catch !  There's a modern building outside the window, a LCD cash register, a modern calendar and packaged food in the display case etc. I'm not sure it fits on Mêlée. Or maybe is this old Guybrush Mêlée? Is there a secret ending where they go get some ham & cheese after leaving the bench? 🤨

I think it looks like the carnival/playground Boybrush is in at the beginning of the game. Maybe it could have been the scurvy dogs store, though Boybrush's imagination?

 

But there could be a Cogg Island connection, given the calender in the background (near the cash register). It looks like an observation telescope on top a hill to me. We know Cogg Island itself wasn't going to have NPCs (stated in Ron's interview with Cressup) so it could be for some daytime Melee/Cogg thing? Or it could have been a nice-looking but abandoned store on Cogg itself. If there is anything to that line of Melee/Cogg speculation to begin with of course.
