It's hand-painted, so it's not necessarily a particular, identifiable typeface...

Sign painters Frank Atkinson and Alf Becker describe this as an Egyptian Block letter style.
Letterheads has one...

we have another version at the Fontry

I'm sure there are other versions available

Egyptian Block Sample... I think the letterheads version is a closer match

It looks like it's been done with cut-out stencils, which (knowing how smaller indie stores/organisations/art collectives work) probably means printing lettering from a font onto pieces of paper and then cutting them out and painting through them. Could still be a digital typeface!
