In the competitive world of retail, “keeping up with the Joneses” is a necessary evil if you want to keep customers happy. Whether a new competitor on the block just moved in, or your dated fixtures and decor are screaming for a refresh, retail remodeling companies can give you space a makeover and help you improve customer experience.
What Retail Remodeling Companies Do
Everything! From resets and fixture replacements to knocking down walls for a total overhaul, retail remodeling companies can handle any improvement in your store.
Some common retail remodeling projects include:
- Retail Reset – Retail resets are commonly done seasonally as merchandise changes, rearranging fixtures and displays to move products around and keep things fresh for customers.
- Store Openings/Closings – Retail remodeling companies prepare new stores to open, and can also break down fixtures and remove branding from stores that are closing.
- Store Expansion/Downsizes – If you’re expanding your space or downsizing, retail remodeling companies ensure the design and flow of the final space is cohesive.
- Shop-in-Shop – If your line of products is going into a larger retail store, retail remodeling companies can create a dedicated, branded space to set your products apart.
- Sign/Banner Updates – Updating your store’s interior and exterior signs and banners is a quick and easy way to give your space a facelift.
- Store Build-Outs – If you’re leasing a new store, retail remodeling companies can make the space ready for you to move in (flooring, paint, fixtures, shelves, checkouts, lights, branding, AV equipment, etc).
- Fixture Changes & Installation – Dated racks, stands, shelves and other fixtures reflect poorly on your brand and don’t highlight your products well. A retail remodeling company can change out old fixtures and install new ones as you add product.
- Multi-Store Remodeling – For chains and franchises, a retail remodeling company can replicate changes across multiple locations for a consistent brand representation.
- General Remodeling – All general remodeling and design tasks, including paint/wallpaper, flooring, windows, furniture, fixtures, lighting, reconfiguring interior spaces, etc.
Can Your Retail Building Be Remodeled?
Whether you own your building or lease it, it’s important to know what you can – and can’t – do before you start knocking down walls. If you lease the space, check your lease and talk to your landlord. If you own the space, consider the personal liability – just like a remodel in your own home.
In either case, there may be limitations or design guidelines imposed by the city (i.e. historic downtowns) or brand standards imposed by a retail conglomerate (i.e. malls). There will be permits to research and pull and contractors to manage.
This is when it pays to partner with a facilities management company that can pair you with a reputable retail remodeling company.
