Growing competition from online retail
Customers gather information online and expect a value-added experience in bricks-and-mortar stores as well as a seamless transition between the online shop and the physical store.
Increased customer expectations
Clarity, intuitive routing and appealing product presentation are crucial.
Urbanisation
Alternative solutions are needed to fulfil the needs of urban clientele.
Logistics & product presentation
The enormous variety of products, some of which are very bulky and heavy, as well as the need for an outdoor area, place special demands on the shop design.
