In this case, their store layout has to be more relaxed, with more empty space in between fixtures, and usually even seating areas for customers.ĭoes your merchandise need to be hanged like in fashion stores or does it need to be stocked on shelves like in convenience and grocery stores?Īre you running a store, where the display space is for facings and display pieces only, and the actual sale happens from the stock room? This is the case at furniture stores, shoe stores, eyewear stores. On the other hand, premium and luxury brands sell fewer pieces and stress on the factor of scarcity, so they have to show limited number of pieces on the floor. Value brands depend on selling large quantities to the masses, and so their store layouts have to allow for high density display. Brand PositioningĪre you a value or a premium or a luxury brand? Which takes us to the next point of consideration. We have to say, though, that not all fashion brands have the same style of store layout. On the other hand, fashion stores usually go for the more creative free flow store layout, where fixtures are staged in a more random way and not as organized and systemized as the grid layout. In this case the grid layout or the forced path layout will be suitable for you.

The more product categories you carry at your store, the more of a systematic and organized layout you will want to incorporate. For example the grid layout seen at supermarkets and hardware stores will not be suitable for fashion boutiques. Type of Retail Storeĭifferent types of store layouts are appropriate for different types of stores. Now that we have shown how to create your own store layout, let’s discuss some things to take into consideration before deciding on the final design for your store.
