Grocery store

Shelving, counters, display cases, freezing and refrigeration equipment are installed in such rooms. Refrigerators should be not only functional, but also elegant, fit into the interior.
Confectionery shop
Glass showcases and display racks, as well as refrigerating chambers are placed here to store finished products. Keep in mind that cakes and pastries have a short shelf life, so pastry equipment must be of impeccable quality.
Coffee makers, cocktail machines and customer furniture will also come in handy if you want to combine a pastry shop with a small cafe .
Shop for the sale of clothing and accessories
It is important to place a TO here, with the help of which textiles will retain their quality, will not wrinkle, and do not form pellets on them. At the same time, it is of great importance how you present outfits, shoes, accessories to guests.
First of all, take care of hangers with hangers and racks. At the first, they usually hang clothes that wrinkle easily - blouses, dresses, sundresses, shirts, suits (trousers and jackets), spectacular underwear. On the second, you can lay out jeans, hoodies, sweaters, that is, things that do not need to be hung out and which, if necessary, the visitor can take, examine on their own, and then fold and return to the shelf.
Mannequins are of great importance . They are used, in particular, in external showcases to attract the attention of potential buyers, and are also used in trading floors. Demonstration dolls are usually used to present items from new collections or sale products.
Also, do not forget about such important elements as shopping mirrors so that customers can evaluate the appearance of the outfit and make a purchase decision. They are located both in the hall and in the fitting rooms.
Banquettes are indispensable in shoe stores. However, they will not be superfluous in other outlets: it is always a pleasure to sit down and relax on such ottomans while shopping.
