As e-commerce continues to grow in
popularity and develop new ways of reaching
customers, retailers have responded with
innovative ways of designing stores to serve
contemporary consumers.

3.  As shoppers become more technology
driven, some retailers have been inspired to
design stores that de-emphasize the
traditional checkout counter in favor of a
customer service experience that
embraces mobile devices. In many cases,
this design removes physical barriers
between customers and employees while
opening the shopping space.
The increasing trend in personalization and
expression has also affected the design of
retail outlets.

4.  Companies seek to create a memorable
shopping experience and are therefore looking
to build stores that have a unique,
nontraditional look, with features that give the
location personality. Many retailers claim that
this helps them stand out from “big box”
corporations.
As another way to remain relevant, retailers use
the integration of environmentally sustainable
features to earn the loyalty of eco-conscious
shoppers and present the company as a
responsible corporate citizen.
