Why should you read this book?

“At Supre, we believe that good retail designhelps to reinforce our company and positioning.

Effective design provides us with unique points of

difference to help attract existing and new

customers and is an important part of our retail

business philosophy. At our recently renovated store

at Stockland Imperial Arcade, the flexibility of thedesign and newly designed shopfront have helped

increase our presentation into the mall and increased

our customer flow.”

Nikki Van Der MeulenBusiness Development Manager

Supre

“I’ve just opened a café at a Stockland Centre,this is my third set-up and my best advice is to

make sure you appoint a good retail designer.

I did, and it meant that I could focus on setting

up the business side ready to trade without

stressing about the building works.

Even though our space was small, our new storelooks great, it meets our functional needs

and most importantly meant that we

didn’t blow out the budget.”

Angela SokialidisProprietor
