Consumer habits have changed dramatically over the last few years. From the rise of “buy online, pick up in store” shopping to an increased emphasis on sustainability, changing consumer behaviors and desires means retailers must adapt accordingly. Naturally, this means that how retail stores are designed and built is changing, too.
Designing for Experience
In a day and age when customers often do much of their shopping online, creating spaces that engage and retain customers is crucial for standing out. Retail spaces must offer a distinct environment that creates a unique experience for customers — something that can’t be replicated online.
For example, Weaver Commercial Contractor’s work on J & Co. Hair Studio & Spa in Dalton, OH offers an inviting atmosphere that combines both a hair salon and nail salon, as well as private massage, manicure, and makeup rooms. A unique blend of traditional and modern design helps provide a relaxing space for the company’s customers, all with a distinct visual flair.
Sustainability in Retail
Incorporating green building practices has become another major point of emphasis in modern retail design. Energy management planning doesn’t just reduce a store’s impact on the environment — it can also lower its month-to-month utility costs. Locally sourced building materials, the use of low-irrigation landscaping, and energy efficient lighting, plumbing, and appliances are just a few options that can improve sustainability both during and after construction.
With strong design-build work, retail spaces aren’t just well-equipped for today’s needs — they’re also future-proofed for the next generation of customers. At Weaver Commercial Contractor, we’ll work closely with your team while also leveraging our extensive knowledge and experience to deliver excellent results. From new builds and expansions to renovations and interior fit-outs, we’re ready to help.
