  • Customer Flow: Design your store with wide Main Aisles (at least 3 tiles wide) to prevent bottlenecks, especially during peak hours. Ensure clear pathways to all departments.
  • Strategic Placement:
    • Entrance Placement: High-profit impulse buys, such as a Seasonal Produce Display or a Floral Arrangement Stand, near the entrance can significantly boost initial sales.
    • Department Grouping: Place related items together to encourage cross-selling. Examples:
      • Bakery Section near the Coffee Bar or Beverage Aisle.
      • Pasta & Sauces adjacent to the Parmesan Cheese display.
      • Baby Food near the Diaper Aisle.
    • Checkout Placement: Position registers at the end of main thoroughfares, easily accessible from all parts of the store.
  • Signage: Utilize department signs effectively to guide customers. Ensure they are visible from a distance.
