How to open a point in mall- we will analyze the most important sections of the business plan + 6 bonus tips from experienced entrepreneurs.

Capital investment per point: from 8,000,000 rubles per year.
Payback of business in a shopping center: from 1 year.

Opening a point in a shopping center scares beginners with the amount of capital investment.

However, they forget to take into account how many bonuses such placement gives.

The higher the rent, the more popular the place.

And this is synonymous with a large flow of people who can become customers.

It will be easier to attract them than if the store were in a separate room.

These and many other advantages of placing in shopping centers are understood by many seasoned businessmen who open sales outlets there.

Business plan of a point in a shopping center- the first document that will be required in the organization of the case.

In it, information about the store will be analyzed, systematized and calculated.

Why is it necessary to open a point in a shopping center?

If the experience of other people does not convince you, evaluate personally the pros and cons of placing in a shopping center.

There are indeed many strengths, but there are also enough disadvantages.

It is important to analyze them thoughtfully so that in the end it does not turn out that a rather large amount of rent was wasted.

What documents are needed to open a point in a shopping center?

Prepare for what you need:

• or LLC (depending on products, number of founders and other details).
• Indicate the OKVED code corresponding to the activity.
• Choose a taxation system.
• Get permission to trade at the point.
• SES and Rospozharnadzor must issue a permit for activity (this is the concern of the administration of the shopping center).
• For the management of the shopping center, projects, estimates and schemes will be needed.
  The list of securities in this case is individual, and it is necessary to clarify it when signing the contract.
• Among other things, you need to obtain quality certificates for goods from suppliers or manufacturers.

Planning to open a business plan for a retail outlet

And because of the potential serious risks that can lead to financial losses and even the closure of the store.

They can be avoided with the help of detailed activity planning.

Planning refers to a system of activities aimed at obtaining a complete picture of how a business can develop.

This includes analysis target audience, visitors to the shopping center, calculation of the size of the future average check, the establishment of the supply process, the choice of a marketing strategy.

• realistic - based on dry facts and reflections;
• optimistic – scenario of ideal development;
• pessimistic - how the business will look when problems arise.

They will help the entrepreneur prepare for any outcome of the case.

Analysis of the shopping center before opening a point

If you choose the wrong landlord, you can get only negative from cooperation.

Choosing a mall is easy.

It is enough to devote two days for personal observations and analysis.

Draw conclusions on the following indicators:

Purchasing power.

You won’t be able to look into people’s wallets or shopping bags.

But even an hour of observing visitors will allow you to note how often they make purchases.

Perhaps most come for entertainment and relaxation.

It will be good for organizing fast food, but not for selling fur products.

Competitors.

It is important that there are no direct competitors nearby.

But large anchor points of similar topics will be useful.

For example, in many supermarkets there are goods for animals.

But they offer a meager assortment.

What a staffing table for a small store might look like:

This number of people will provide daily work points from 10:00 to 22:00 (standard working day of most shopping centers).

It is better to hire people on your own.

You need to personally evaluate the person you trust to be the face of the store.

Hiring a salesperson with experience is much more preferable.

But keep in mind that young and energetic guys are easier to accept new rules, trends, and often bring “fresh breath” into the business.

To motivate employees to work better, enter the payment of a fixed % of sales or bonuses for achieving the set results.

Marketing section of the business plan of a point in a shopping center



Without competent promotion to build successful business difficult, even when placing a point in a mall.

Consider these options:

• Preparation.

  While you are preparing the point for opening, it can become a means of outdoor advertising.

  close repair work a banner on which inform about the start of work, indicate the name and date of opening.

  Mutual benefit.

  When an agreement with a shopping center is concluded on the terms of % of turnover, and not a fixed fee, you can ask for the possibility of free promotion for the first time.

  Management can meet halfway, because their income will depend on your success.

  Inside the service is much more expensive, and the effect of it is lower.

  Bring your own.

  Create special discounts for employees of the center.

  This will draw their attention to the dot.

  And if they like it with you, fame will quickly spread among friends.

  Change to "permanent".

  Also motivate customers.

  Enter a loyalty program or a system of cumulative discounts.

Financial section in the business plan of a point in a shopping center

Without financial section in a business plan, an entrepreneur will not be able to calculate how much money will be needed to open a point.

It should be noted that until the moment of payback, the store will need to be “sponsored” from a personal financial cushion.

How much money do you need to open a point in a shopping center?

Item of expenses	Amount (rub.)
Total:	RUB 7,625,000
Paperwork	15 000
Point rental fee (per year)	500 000
Purchase and installation of commercial equipment	250 000
Point design and signage	75 000
Employee salary (per year)	250 000
Store opening advertisement	5 000
Advertising campaign in the future	20 000
Creation and replenishment of inventory	6 000 000
Office expenses	10 000

After watching the following video, you will be able to choose the right place in the shopping center to open your outlet:

“If you require someone to give their time and energy to a cause, then take care that he does not experience financial difficulties.”
Henry Ford

1. At the point, the shelves should look full of goods, but at the same time leave customers the opportunity to move calmly and safely.

You need to take care of the inventory right away.

Until you understand exactly which items are the most popular, it is important to have at least a few units of production.

Try to stay near the so-called anchor points.

These are the stores that attract the most visitors to the mall.

A striking example is Auchan, Obi, Perekrestok supermarkets.

Just as an adult cannot be completely "remade", so the audience of a shopping center cannot be changed.

That portrait of the average buyer, which you make during the analysis of the shopping center, will remain the same after the opening of your outlet.

Do not entertain yourself with false hopes about this.

2. If you need to save on renting space, pay attention to island accommodation.

Remember to look at the point not only as a manager, but also as a buyer.

This will allow you to notice the disadvantages of the service.

How to open a point in a shopping center you now know.

With due perseverance, creating a profitable business is within the power of every person.

For trade, it is preferable to rent rather than buy premises. This has an undoubted number of advantages, one of which is the possibility of short time respond to changes. In this case, the tenant can quickly change location.

The customer flow can change dramatically due to external factors. So, if a large and prestigious shopping and entertainment center is being built nearby, then it will surely lure a large number of buyers. Ultimately, this can make the business of another store unprofitable.

We must not forget that the purchase of a retail space subsequently requires the fulfillment of a number of obligations. If you have to reduce the number of outlets, then selling the premises is not so easy. Then you have to think about renting it out, and this is work in a completely new line of business.

You need to choose a room after the entrepreneur is clear on the format in which he is going to work.

There are quite a few accommodation options. You can open your outlet in a shopping center, a separate building or make it mobile.

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a space. They will be considered in more detail.

The article turned out to be large, so use the content.

Location estimate

This includes several nuances at once, which the entrepreneur must take into account in order for the work to be effective later:

• District potential

If it is insufficient, then it makes no sense to open your own outlet in it. At the same time, it is necessary to determine the trading zone correctly. For medium-sized supermarkets, it is about 1.5 kilometers, which is equivalent to a quarter of an hour on foot.

It is also very important to understand how to determine the potential, what should be taken into account? The components will be:

1. security of the population of the region;
2. purchasing behavior of people living in the area.

Assessing the capabilities and desires of the population, you need to pay attention to the following features:

1. the level of buildings in the area;
2. the number of inhabitants in the area;
3. infrastructure development;
4. the location of important objects (this includes shopping centers, parks, transport routes, stops).

• Traffic near the outlet

It is very important to clearly understand how many people walk around the outlet. All the information obtained during the assessment of the potential of the area must be mapped, and then the level of customer flows should be assessed.

A very important question will be, is it convenient for the buyer to get to the store? This issue is especially acute for stores that open on the outskirts, because there the bulk of purchases are made on the way home. In general, open in such places outlets need to be extremely careful.

• The presence of competitors nearby

It is very important how close the competitors are. The fewer of them, the better it will be for the profitability of the future outlet.

If there are no competitors nearby, in principle, this can often mean that the niche is simply not in demand in a particular area.

• social orientation

If rich people live in the area, then they are unlikely to be interested in off-brand clothing, for example. The elite class prefers boutiques, fashionable clothes. Therefore, it is worth comparing the desires of potential customers with what the entrepreneur can offer them.

• Driveways

Any outlet should be convenient and easy to get to. If the store does not have a convenient entrance, many will surely find an alternative. At the same time, you need to understand who the potential buyer is, how he will get to the store. If these are rich enough people, then they need to be provided with parking spaces. In this case, the calculation must be carried out from the following data: for every 25 m 2 of area, on average, 1 parking space is needed. If the main buyers are low-income citizens, then there is no need to take care of parking.

Location in the shopping center, requirements for the premises

It is equally important to evaluate the premises, its location inside the shopping center. Special attention you need to pay attention to the following factors:

• Shop space, comfort conditions

It is very important that the person inside the room is comfortable. We must not forget that when located in a shopping center, there can often be an influx of customers, especially if the goods are in demand. That is why it is necessary to provide potential buyers with comfortable conditions.

• Location inside the mall

Here a significant factor will be how far the room is located from the entrance or exit. The closer the better. This means that the customer will first go to this store and make a purchase. If he failed to find something suitable in another store, then he will be able to go to the one closest to the exit and make a purchase there.

• The shape of the room and a number of other aspects

The most spacious and comfortable is a rectangular room. If it concerns shops of the "apartment" type, then it is not recommended to choose them.

Be sure to find out about the possibility of redevelopment, if necessary, the condition of the premises. It is equally important to find out which store was previously in it - it may have had a bad reputation, which may scare away some of the customers of the new store.

About the audience and visitor flows

Many entrepreneurs jump at the first opportunity to open in a particular mall, which is a serious mistake. It is very important to conduct a detailed analysis of the customer flows of a particular store. Moreover, both quantitative and qualitative indicators are important here. You can do this in one of the following ways:

1. Visit the mall on your own. Worth staying in outdoor cafe adjacent to the proposed premises. This will help you calculate how much man will pass nearby at one time or another.
2. Find out about the profitability of opening in a shopping center by contacting another tenant or an employee of one of the stores.
3. Ask for landlord information.
4. Conduct a survey yourself on a local website or in social networks among the population that can be attributed to the target audience. At the same time, information about the area of ​​residence, visits to shopping centers can be included in the number of questions (specific names can be used).
5. Monitor check-ins of a specific segment of customers (this is possible if there is access to information in other stores, for example, if a second or subsequent outlet is opened).

Additionally, the circle will narrow, based on price factor. You should also take into account the requirements of the landlord, additional services.

Components of success

The entrepreneur must not forget that the success of the store is made up of a number of factors:

• 30% of the correct choice of the store format;
• 30% of the correctly chosen location;
• 40% of the situation in the store, the work of staff, the quality of goods and a number of other points.

At the same time, it is worth paying attention not only to shops, but also to the islands. This is the name of the showcases of the open type, which are placed in the corridors and aisles. This concept is often preferred for evaluating the profitability of working in a shopping center. Often they are used as seasonal points of sale. Of course, testing takes a lot of money and time. It makes sense to use it if there are other outlets and capital adequacy.

Engineering systems

Be sure to pay attention to whether the room has:

• electricity;
• water supply (if required);
• fire alarm;
• sewerage (if necessary);
• heating;
• air conditioners;
• ventilation system.

Especially responsibly it is necessary to approach the study of information about the available electrical capacities. If there are not enough of them, then the store simply will not be able to function normally.

When calculating the required electricity, you need to take into account all possible costs, including lighting, kettles, etc.

We pay attention to the features of our own business

Much depends on the characteristics of sales. When choosing a format and location, you need to consider:

• what will be sold;
• What are the dimensions of the goods?
• how diverse is the assortment;
• whether visual advertising is required for the products sold;
• flows of buyers who are aimed at purchasing goods in a particular store (at island outlets, people, as a rule, do not stand in lines);
• store popularity or trademark used by the entrepreneur (than better known brand, the easier it will be to sell products and the more customers the store will have).

It is important not only to choose the format of the store, but also to figure out how to promote your product. “Will it be possible to attract customers in this shopping center?” - this is the question the entrepreneur should ask himself, having worked out the answer to it in detail. Some promotion methods are simply impossible to use in certain premises, stores, which can lead to refusal to rent.

Installing the island - where is it more profitable?

Undoubtedly greatest success at those island outlets that are located near the entrance. But getting such a position is quite difficult, especially if the entrepreneur does not have regular customers. Most often, well-known representatives, branded companies are located here.

Island points are also called "floating" due to the fact that they can move without problems. This option is a great solution for beginners. The island format is more suitable for selling the following products:

• electronics;
• toys;
• bijouterie;
• souvenirs.

Here are three tips to help you get the most out of your island store location:

1. Best of all, such formats take root in places where people are focused specifically on the purchase of goods, and not on entertainment or dining.
2. It is very important that there are no outlets with the same product nearby. Non-exclusivity kills this format.
3. No "shadow" placement. The outlet should not be blocked by many well-known stores.

Be sure to pay attention to what exactly buyers want to buy in a particular shopping center. If they are used to buying branded items, then there is no point in placing a new unknown store in it. The only exception is exclusive items like jewelry and accessories. It is important to remember that:

1. Will have to interest potential buyers. To do this, you will have to spend money on a good bright showcase.
2. Only experienced sellers will be able to sell in a large flow of buyers. Saving on specialists simply will not work.
3. In large shopping malls, there are quite a few rules that you have to follow. That is why it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the lease agreement in advance.

Stationary outlet - how to choose a more profitable one?

When choosing a stationary outlet, you need, first of all, to build on the flow of customers. At the same time, it is very important to separate potential (target) buyers from everyone else. Be sure to ask yourself a few questions:

1. What other goods can a potential customer buy in this shopping center?
2. Why do people buy certain products?
3. What can an entrepreneur offer his visitors that they will not find anywhere else in this mall?

These questions will help you understand whether it is reasonable to locate in a given shopping center, what level of attendance the store will have.

When choosing, the undoubted advantage will be the presence of the following facts:

• On the floor there are many shops that are visited by potential clients, while the goods in these outlets do not compete with the goods of the entrepreneur.
• If a large number of people of the desired price segment visit this shopping center.
• No competitors nearby. Even better, if they are not at all in this shopping center. At the same time, you need to assess the level of competitiveness in order to assess your capabilities and make a decision on renting.

Accommodation in a shopping center or freestanding store?

Not always a shopping center is more promising than a separate store. Here you need to proceed from the products sold and the target segment.

So, for example, many representatives of the middle and low price segment (entrepreneurs selling goods at a low price) are located in separate premises. This is due to the fact that people often use public transport to get around. By the way, many of these outlets often become more successful than outlets in malls.

But branded stores are best opened in well-known and large shopping centers. This strategy is the most profitable for them.

To understand the difference, it is necessary to compare the advantages and disadvantages of both formats.

Shops located in shopping centers will have the following advantages:

• occupancy;
• unified design style;
• the presence of a manager;
• the presence of non-core anchor tenants that increase the flow of buyers.

As for the cons, they are:

• difficulties in obtaining an outlet;
• strict terms of the contract;
• high price;
• possible increase in the rental price;
• dependence on the shopping center in terms of opening times;
• obligatory submission to a single work schedule;
• the complexity and limitations of the delivery of goods;
• restrictions regarding the use of elements that are branded for the entrepreneur's store;
• the need to coordinate their own actions;
• the need to meet a range of visitor needs;
• different revenue depending on the days of the week (the peak falls on the weekend, on weekdays the sales volume is much less);
• the danger of a decline in consumer interest in this shopping center.

Do accommodation in separate standing store also has its advantages and disadvantages. The undoubted advantages include:

• constant eye contact with potential customers;
• customer focus on a specific product or brand;
• the ability to change the format of your work depending on the jumps in pedestrian traffic;
• independent determination of the opening time;
• opportunity to use any necessary methods advertising;
• no need to agree on the mode of operation or the format of the store design.

The disadvantages include:

• the need to establish relationships with various service organizations;
• rather complex shapes of premises, which may not meet the desires or standards of the organization.

The entrepreneur must make the decision himself, because, alas, there is no universal solution.

And now I will give advice from the book, in which the founders of the Mosigra company described the process of finding premises for their stores.

Crossing streams

Before choosing a place for a new point, it is necessary to pay attention to the intersection of streams. The store should be located in such a place that it is convenient to reach it: on foot, by car, public transport or on the subway.

An ordinary resident in a big city basically walks along his main routes and almost never turns off them. You need to place the store in such a way that it is as close as possible to the route that people walk on. It should be located somewhere between homes, offices, or your vacation spot.

For Moscow, such points are located near the ring metro stations, as well as those located on the Garden Ring. The result is a point of intersection of the main road and the main flow of public transport.

The next step is to select the area where you want to search. You can outline a small area near your chosen metro station. In the middle of the resulting area, you need to compare the visibility of the place from the roadway, the distance to the metro, some visual landmarks, and so on.

For example, on Kurskaya, we were offered a place that is quite expensive, but located right in the metro building itself. The man got out of the subway and just a few meters away - our store! We weighed the pros and cons and decided to take a chance. Opened for a lot of money and did not lose. Today it is one of the most popular stores.

What to do if the store is located on the outskirts of the city? In fact, on the outskirts, the share of self-delivery is much less than in the city center. Therefore, the availability of the store from the stop does not play a special role. A store located at the end of the metro station will not work for the city, but only for this area. With this option, you do not need to think about a store located somewhere on the street, you need to find a shopping center that is located closer to the metro station. This will turn out to be the place that attracts customer traffic. It is in such a place that you need to open a store.

For example, if the point is located on the "Teply Stan", then this is just the intersection of such flows: a metro station, a large number of houses located nearby, cafes, buses. In the shopping center near the metro, we opened. The center itself was nothing special, but people go shopping there all the time. This is where we find them!

How to search

First you need to go around the selected area and carefully study it. It is very important. For your first two or three stores, you need to carefully check everything in person. Only then can one afford several agents, watch internet ad projects and buy newspapers. For the city of Moscow, the following sources work:

• Popular Internet resource "Avito". It has one hundred percent profitable offer and they are on the site for several days.
• "Cyanogen". Favorably differs in good search. The options on it are very good, so agents and search specialists respond very quickly to them. Therefore, they are located on the site, very little time. In some cases, no more than half an hour.
• "Intercom". Its advantage lies in the fact that here you can find offers that are not available on Avito and Cyan.
• Internet - rental agency "Izrukvruki", located near the metro station. If you do not want to spend time yourself, then you can hire an agent for a commission.

When looking for suitable premises, the most important thing is to determine exactly what you need from the premises. You don't have to pick the first one that comes along. If you had to rent a room or buy a house, then you have probably come across this. Only after examining a dozen rooms, you will be able to understand what you really need to pay attention to.

The Capricious Bride Problem

There is a capricious bride who lives in the palace. There are hundreds of suitors. They enter the palace one by one, and the bride says yes or no to each of them. If she says "yes" - others immediately leave, and the young ones play a wedding. If the bride says no, then the groom leaves and the next one comes.

The task for the bride is to find the best of all. The solution to the problem of choosing a groom for the bride is as follows. For the first thirty-five people, she checks the range of possible options, looks at their qualities. At the thirty-fifth - she is already becoming more experienced and will be able to understand a person. Up to the ninetieth person, she will choose the one who looks like the best of the first thirty-five trial people, and then the selection criteria are sharply reduced as the number of suitors decreases.

You need to agree with yourself that after inspecting the first fifteen rooms and discussing all the details, you will not take any of the viewed rooms for yourself. And only after inspecting the first fifteen rooms, you can start looking for it for purchase. This is difficult to do, but this stage must be passed, otherwise you can easily drive yourself into bondage for several years simply because the room is chosen incorrectly.

Basically, such a search takes from one to two months. You will not be able to find a room that is 100% suitable for you. You still need to sacrifice something. This can be: a sign, the area of ​​​​the room, the distance to the subway, and so on. If you do not look at many different rooms, then your choice will be reduced to one of some options. And this is not correct.

It should be noted that after examining the first fifty rooms, an important feeling will certainly appear. Right on the spot you will be visited by the idea that the premises should be taken without any options. We called this feeling of butts - filling. If it tells you that this room is suitable, then you trust it one hundred percent (provided that fifty rooms have been viewed) and do not go anywhere until you conclude the contract you need. This is your luck.

Search with your feet

When opening your first stores, it is imperative that you go through all the districts that you consider promising for placing a store. Everything needs to be assessed. Look for places that:

1. Seemingly empty
2. Where are ads posted that they are for rent.

If everything seems clear with point two, then everything is not so simple with the first point. When finding an empty object, you need to clarify what was there, who lived, and try to find contact information about the owner of this place. If you can't find the owner, you need to take scotch tape and paste an announcement that you want to rent this space. Of the fifty new places - at least one we find in this way.

It should be noted that we found one of our most profitable stores in this way. We have decided on the search area. We received information that a pharmacy would move out of this place and contacted its owner. The owner of this place referred us to his agent. We signed all the necessary documents with him.

Another point was also found with their feet, just the day before when its owner wrote a rental ad. Now it gives the most profit in this region. In the city of Moscow, everyone does this.

foot stream

The people who take the census of the population countryside, just by looking at the grandmother in the village, they can tell how many piglets she has. The same will happen with new premises. Having examined many premises, and having opened several dozen stores, you will only know by looking at the premises whether it is necessary for you or not. If you still can’t do this, you need to come to the point and calculate such important points:

• The number of people passing by your store door.
• The number of cars passing by at speeds up to forty kilometers per hour. If the car goes faster, the driver simply will not read the sign.
• How many people passed by the store.
• Do people pass by in companies.

Such a calculation must be carried out several times. Morning, afternoon, evening, weekdays and weekends.

For example, when opening a point on Tverskaya, we visited all the stores located within a radius of several blocks and talked with the sellers, clarifying the following questions with them: how many people are in the store and at what time there are most of them, how many goods are sold per shift, and so on . If the sellers are properly spoken to, they will gladly share this information. As a result, we did not fail.

The visibility of the chosen place

It is necessary to determine the distance from which the sign will be clearly visible. A very important point. How far is the pickup point from the place where the transport stops? If you are offered a place located somewhere in the yard, you should immediately think of this place as the top floor in a large shopping center. You can conditionally divide the flow of customers into sixteen. Any unnecessary movement, such as another passage, turning a corner, greatly reduces the flow of visitors. If you do not count on the flow of visitors (your store is used for self-delivery), then an inexpensive store in the yard near the metro station will be a good option.

Problematic premises

Accordingly, premises without problems will cost much more. Large retail chains do not take premises that have some problems. Most likely, this is because it is unprofitable for them to adapt it to each specific case.

For you, a room with minor problems may be a great option. Even if it needs to be improved.

Looking around the room you need to make a complete picture for yourself:

• Are there other departments. This may affect the work schedule.
• Roof leak problem. If mold is found on the ceiling, then this indicates that the roof may leak, and this is a large material cost to eliminate the leak.
• The difficulty of placing a sign, or after placement it will be poorly visible.

You need to walk down the street where you plan to place the store and see if there are empty or moving rooms nearby. If there are many such points, this indicates that something is wrong in this area.

At Belorusskaya, in our premises, there was a printing office nearby. As a result of the work, at first it was not possible to organize self-delivery.

At the "Park Kultury" our store is located on the second line of houses. As a result, there were problems with the sign. We came up with a special sign design.

We stopped renting stores with such or similar problems only after the opening of the tenth store in Moscow.

People who drive cars

It is necessary to count the people who pass by in cars. The point where cars pass at low speed will be much more profitable. In such places they can look around. The point is that when you pass high speed, the field of view narrows. For example, at Kurskaya, our panel on a special bracket was located on the metro building parallel to the road. After the release of a new technical regulations the panel had to be removed. There is only one sign left. It was located perpendicular to the road, and looked like a red line located on the side, and it is difficult to understand what is for sale, cool games or gifts. As a result, we immediately noticed that car traffic dropped significantly.

In the life of a motorist there are a large number of shops that he passes by without noticing them. For example, we drove past one such store for a whole year without noticing it, until we accidentally read on the blog that this store is located somewhere in the house. When we went there, it immediately became clear why they sell twenty units of goods a day, and we sell more than a hundred.

Another important option is parking. The driver will not always want to break the rules to get into the store. The direction of the road must be taken into account. You need an evening referral. On the "Park Kultury", just opposite us, there was a store selling sporting goods. Our worker wanted to hit it many times in the morning when he was driving to work. He stood on the "morning side". In the morning he had no time, as he was in a hurry to work, in the afternoon he had to cross six lanes and make an incomprehensible detour to turn around. As a result, the store eventually closed, and the person never visited it. This is a real dead place for people driving cars. This must be remembered. If you come across, for example, a “morning” shopping center, then with this option it’s a good idea to place a coffee shop.

Neighbours

We opened an anti-cafe (customers pay money for the time spent in the cafe, not for the food). Conflicts with neighbors become a frequent problem for small establishments. For example, one of our establishments called Ziferblat was especially noted in this regard. Almost everyone wanted to survive. For several weeks, the police regularly came to the site, on the call of the neighbors. Knowing about the possibility of an unpleasant situation, we took several important steps:

• We agreed with the owner that if there are problems with the neighbors, he would solve them.
• Put up a sign called “Developmental Games Lovers Club” so that everyone thinks that they are doing something important and useful here.
• The head of the department called all the neighbors to visit and showed everything that was inside.

Site layout

Each specific task requires its own planning. To figure out whether the layout is good or not, you need to imagine whether visitors will like it or not. Long shopping room will be worse than a square-shaped room. It will be simply inconvenient for visitors to enter a long hall. For example, Ufa "Mega" is a room in which the parties are in the ratio of two to five. They thought that we would allocate half of the room for a utility room, and we would get such a small compact store. We did not want to make a utility room. As a result, about two meters of space remained between the racks. It got uncomfortable. It is warm in a small room, but in a large one it turned out to be a tunnel like in a subway.

We had a trading floor forty meters, and the whole room - seventy-six. The store and location is good, but the problem was that half of the space was in the back room. The price for one meter is high, and half the area will not work. This also needs to be paid attention to and everything should be properly calculated and taken into account.

For example, the cash register at the entrance to the store, as it were, offends the buyer. He gets the impression that he is not trusted. If a person is considering whether to go to a store or not, then cash machine he will be scared away.

Important about shopping centers

We can assume that the shopping center practically does not care where it is located. The most important thing is what is inside. For example, a shopping center with or without a cinema - these are two huge differences. Grocery hypermarket High Quality will immediately attract a large influx of people. For example, in one small town two shopping centers located opposite each other staged a war among themselves for a client. The mall with the best tasting bread won.

Escalator is the enemy

If an escalator in a shopping center rises twice a floor, then this significantly reduces the flow. If your point is on the third floor, then divide the flow from the first by four (on average).

The first floor is the most visited. But it is the second most visited after the floor with a cinema and restaurants. If your store is on the fifth floor, and a cinema with restaurants is on the fourth, then traffic will drop by half.

You should definitely check this, because there are very strange shopping centers.
