We have been serving customers for decades, and we would like to increase sales in our store. We believe that changing the layout of our shop could lead to more revenue per customer.

We would like to collaborate with students to generate profitable layouts for our store.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our products and services.
• Researching commonly used floor plans in stores.
• Considering factors such as traffic flow, customer behaviour, product placement, displays, and customer amenities.
• Creating a blueprint of a recommended store layout.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Recommending changes to improve our store’s accessibility.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Familiarity with our products and services
• Knowledge of different store layout options
• Consideration of factors affecting store layouts’ profitability
• Recommendation of changes to our existing store layouts

Bonus steps would include:

• Considering accessibility in the design of new store layouts

Final deliverables should include:

• A final report with recommendations.
• A presentation.
