 Remodeling can be frustrating, but it can be worth it – making your store a
better and more functional place to shop. Whether it's adding new rooms,
increasing the size of your store, tearing down unnecessary walls, etc.,
 The new look of your store will surely attract more customers. Have a
clear plan about what the store’s new look will be, to help you have a
better renovation experience. Don’t know what you want? Ask your
contractor about what their other clients love about their renovations.
 Start the process by making a list of features you like and
dislike about your existing store. Prioritize and decide to change those
things that aren’t working first. You can often cut remodeling costs by
keeping the features you like in your existing store.
 If you want a new look but have no clear plan about what you want, make
a wish list for your new store. These may or may not be possible within
budget but will help the commercial contractor understand what kind of
design and layout you like, and make a plan within budget.
 Make a plan on where
to place different
elements like the
store’s service area,
cash registers,
merchandise, and
storage. Visualize how
the placement of
fixtures will affect
initial impressions and
traffic flow to and
from your store.
 Find out how much money you can allocate towards the renovation.
Before you commit to an expensive idea, you may want to compare its
cost to something more practical if the dream build will negatively affect
your cash flow.
 Take the advice of the contractor when it is offered; they are
renovation experts! This does not mean that everything they advise
will suit your vision, but it may save your money in the end. Keep
the lines of communication open, sharing ideas and getting
questions answered all along the way.
