Soccer is the most popular sport in Morocco. The rise in athletic trends has resulted in athleticwear accounting for 24% of total apparel and footwear sales in Morocco. Nike and Reebok are the leading athletic brands sold in the country. There is a very large counterfeit industry within Morocco which directly impacts the sales of popular athletic brands.

The city’s port makes it an economic hub for transporting imported and exported goods. There are many luxury homes, beach front hotels and restaurants along the shoreline in Casablanca’s Corinche district. While Casablanca is the most developed and fast paced city, it is still rooted in the traditions of Sunni Muslim where it is preferred that men and women dress modestly. Morocco’s middle class has the disposable means to spend on branded goods, and Casablanca is the premier destination for shopping. In a country notorious for the selling of counterfeit goods, it is important that shoppers are able to purchase brand name merchandise from trusted retailers. Casablanca is an urban environment that has an up and coming art and music scene, a variety of restaurant cuisines and high-end boutiques. Western culture has influenced people to obtain a healthier lifestyle, participate in various fitness activities and take part in the latest fashion trends. The city has some luxury real estate developments that feature communities with golf courses, soccer facilities, fitness clubs and schools. There are many retail developments opening throughout the city, attracting many western brands to lease space within the shopping malls and centers.
ATTRACTIONS
Some key attractions for shopping in Casablanca is the Bouskoura Golf City Shopping Center and the Zenata Centre Mall. Both of these developments are in the works of opening soon. The Bouskoura Golf City Shopping Center will feature various amenities from shops, golf courses, fitness clubs and more. The Zenata Centre Mall will be opening in 2017 and is planned to cover 90,000 m2 of land, housing 250 stores and 3,650 parking spaces. Casablanca is along the coastline with many scenic views and nightlife activities in La Corinche district. Beach club Miami Plage, is one of the largest in the city which features pools, basketball courts, bars and more.

FACTORS
Public transportation is an affordable and reliable method for commuting. There are taxi’s, buses, trains and trams that go throughout Casablanca and Morocco. Businesses close at noon daily for lunch time until 2 o’clock, except during the month of Ramadan when they remain open at mid-day but close earlier in the afternoon.
LOCATION
SALES POTENTIAL
Nike’s pop up shop will be featured in Morocco’s most populated and also the most metropolitan city of Casablanca. Casablanca is highly saturated with many shopping malls and centers, the Mall of Morocco is the most popular shopping mall in the city. It is the largest mall in Africa spanning 70,000 m2, with 3 levels of stores selling over 600 brands. The location serves as a pivotal place for entertainment with a variety of stores, restaurants and interactive attractions. The mall of Morocco is not only a key destination for tourists, it is also a place for locals to spend their entire day exploring the sights and partaking in activities in the mall.
The Nike pop-up shop will be open from September through November. During this time of the year, the weather is pleasant and there is a peak in tourism during this season. Morocco Mall is the prime location for shopping, bringing 15 million visitors a year. There are approximately 41,000** visitors in the mall per day.
The Mall of Morocco has something for every kind of customer as people come to enjoy both shopping and leisure activities. Store categories vary from high-end luxury goods, sporting apparel & equipment, home decor and so much more. Many people come to the mall to enjoy the IMAX movie selections, musical fountain, indoor aquarium, indoor theme park, and skating rink. Services provided by the mall include: a private lounge, specialty free parking, shopping bag service and valet parking. The mall also features a service for reserving taxi’s called iTaxi and there are two levels plus an outside lot for parking. In addition to these services there is a pharmacy, mosque and food market for shoppers convenience. There are 350 retail spaces available in the mall, the Nike pop up shop will be located on the 1st floor diagonal from it’s top direct competitor, Adidas. We believe that this will be the best location for our pop shop as it will generate the appropriate sales and foot traffic in a highly concentrated area.
**Calculation estimated: 15 million visitors a year / 365 days a year = 41,095.89 visitors per day
ESTIMATING COMPETITION In the mall, there are many indirect competitors that sell brands like Reebok, Puma, Under Armour and more. These local retailers only feature some Nike products but do not encompass the full Nike store experience. City Sport, Planet Sport, and Sports Plus are amongst the most popular sport apparel and footwear retailers in Morocco. In regards to direct competitors, Adidas has a strong presence featuring two stores, one for kids and the other, adults.
Payment
Building
For the exchange rate between Moroccan currency and US currency, one Moroccan Dirham is worth tens cents of a United States dollar. In 2014 the Moroccan Prime minister raised the minimum wage to Dh13.46/hour in the private sector and the public monthly minimum wage to Dh3,000. Sixty Percent of the Moroccan population are credit and or debit card users.
Since the Nike pop up shop of Morocco is located in a mall, the building regulations and restrictions are not as strict as they would be if this were being built in a freestanding location somewhere else within morocco. Another ease is that a vacant store front will be used for the location rather than kiosk in an open area within the mall.
Trade
Health and Safety
Morocco has a Free Trade Agreement that was signed on June 15, 2004. The EU has an Association Agreement with Morocco that was signed in February of 1996 and covers all sectors of the economy pertaining to trade. Nike contracts to 408 factories in 39 countries across the globe making it easier to move the product to the venues that it needs to go to.
International health and safety codes must be followed within this store location. Since there will be fitness class offer within the location, proper cleaning supplies and sanitary precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of employees and customers alike.
The Moroccan Nike pop up shop will be headed by a General Manager who will handle with the overall scheduling and organization of the store. The general manager will then be supported by two Assistant manager who will help with the managing of the employees and tasks such as merchandising and customer service. There will also be two lead employees/ key holders that will support in the daily task and also have the ability to open and close down the store. There will be ten store associates. They will all have the ability to operate as cashiers and customer service. The janitorial duties will be carried out by the whole staff and not have a designated position. The employees will not be hired from local areas but rather from within Nike itself choosing to bring in highly trained employees. These employees will be recruited from staff in France. However, the trainers and instructors will be hired from gyms around Casablanca to ensure that they have all of the proper local certifications for their field.

ENTRY/ EXIT
Upon entering the store customers will be reminded of the Nike brand identity by using similar displays as existing Nike stores. The store will use a free flow layout of displays and product in order to utilize the space in the most productive way. Directly to the left, past the entrance turf flooring, there will be the soccer section to imitate an ‘on field’ environment with an array of cleats, socks, jerseys, and shorts. To the right, men’s and women’s footwear will be displayed with benches to try on product. Continuing on into the store men’s apparel will be located on the left side of the store and women’s on the right. After passing through the apparel, the checkout counter will be placed on the left passed the women’s apparel with the fitting rooms directly across from the cash registers. At this point a glass wall separates the fitness studio space from the rest of the store. Behind the glass wall the studio space contains a wall of mirrors, changing rooms, as well as shelving for yoga mats and other fitness equipment. The Nike pop-up store will feature a dual place for retail shopping and a studio space for fitness classes. The overall design of the popup shop features industrial elements of heavy stainless steel, contrasting with wood flooring as well as concrete accents used throughout the interior.
STORE ENTRY VIEW
The purpose of incorporating wood is to evoke a calm and . welcoming emotion, similar to a yoga studio. The retail space will have a subtle scent of rubber and the studio space will have notes of lemon. Lemon has been proven to reduce stress and increase concentration. To evoke taste, the store will provide lemon infused ice water for studio members and customers in need of a refreshing beverage. The overall sound projected in the store will be upbeat and current music from the top 100 charts.

Because pop up shops happen for such a short amount of time, brands need to start off strong in terms of promotion in order to get the word out and fast. Social Media is a tool that can be heavily applied in order to achieve that. Facebook and Instagram are the main channels of social media that will be used for the promotion of the Nike Pop up shop. They are some of the most popular social networking sites within Morocco. Television is the most popular form of communication and therefore in August (one month before the shop is to open), a commercial will start to be broadcast throughout Morocco.

Nike’s plans for expansion into Africa led us to choose Morocco as the best contender for the pop up shop location. Morocco is ranked #14 for the GRDI, as the country has a stable political and economic climate with an overall high security infrastructure. The retail industry in Morocco is very promising, as the GDP rate is shown to steadily increase in the years to come. Morocco will become the tourist destination by 2020 bringing many international retailers to the country. The Nike popup shop will generate overall brand awareness influencing Morocco’s newly adopted western habits. The pop-up shop will promoting the Nike ideal that every person is an athlete around the globe.
