Sobeys
A Prototype Goes National
We designed the new Sobeys prototype store, developed the new national master specifications and created the standardized details book. The project encompassed the design of 20 stores across Canada varying from upgrades to existing locations, to brand new food stores.
Challenges
- Coordination with consultant fixturing team
- Standardizing the design across five different regions
- Conceptual design for the ‘new look’
- Standardizing details and specifications
- Incorporating the prototypical design into existing food stores
Solutions
- Quick reactions to client and site requests for fixture plan changes
- Entry portal that captures the importance of fresh with food retail
- Highly organized systematic approach to standard details and specifications
- Develop prototype design that has flexibility to adjust to different locational requirements
