Stores are crucial, and mistakes can be costly.
Amidst intensifying competition, the store’s role in fostering connections, brand community, and propelling market expansion has never been more vital for driving growth. Investing in your store channel is something other than what you do. It has a purpose.
Yet retailers confront outdated store development systems that struggle to adapt to changing retail standards, thus compounding risks from concept to execution.
I can help get more from your store development efforts. We’re together in this.
Empowered by global brands and independent retailers.
In a brand’s store development journey, pivotal moments prompt crucial choices that can shape its future outcomes. Each decision made at these turning points becomes a stepping stone toward success and paves the way for sustained growth.
01
Missed Opportunities
The project is experiencing overruns, shifting objectives, and underwhelming performance indicators. Sometimes, it’s a bottleneck that impedes progress. These challenges can often be attributed to issues in site identification, lease negotiations, permit acquisition, FF&E delivery, and achieving operational readiness. As a result, it may feel like there is a lack of control and a falling behind in schedule, causing delays in launching the project, obtaining necessary insights, and generating revenue or profit.
02
A Leap in Scale and Execution
The next iteration is no longer Store Number 1. We are now dealing with Store 2-10 or 20-50. Expanding to multiple stores, entering a new global market, or revamping your entire store portfolio can be a daunting yet pivotal endeavor. Each step represents a strategic move towards growth and evolution.
03
One Defining Project
You are betting big on this store project. It presents an opportunity for a proof-of-concept launch, a signature flagship showcasing new omnichannel integrations and experiences, or a rebranding/reinvention of Store Number 1. This version is anticipated to guide bigger bets in the future and naturally brings with it elevated pressure to succeed.
04
Rent vs. Traffic
Retailers always consider the paradox of foot traffic vs. rent expenses, aiming to balance higher rents with increased conversions. But the increase in volume often comes with the price of higher rents. In this dilemma, we will inevitably encounter store development opportunities that challenge our risk tolerances. When faced with a heightened degree of difficulty and success in the margins, the next store iteration may require excellence in strategic execution.
