Excites positioned the prime wall (left wall from the

entrance) and fills that with new arrivals. Exactly on the side of the prime wall, we put the basic item on the rack.

We styled that together with the seasonal items to make sales from both of the sections. Cashier and staff desk would be right in the middle vision from the entrance so our staff can always help them if needed and have a clear vision of the surrounding for the safety reason and make the eye contact with prespective customers coming in.
