Shop layouts and retail environments should make it easy for customers to find what they want and figure out where to pay easily. Confused shop layouts that make it hard for customers to figure out where they need to be can have a negative impact on your sales. It can also result in missed opportunities for upsells or cross sells without proper planning.
At Cornerstone Fitout we’re experts in retail fit outs that show off your brand and make you standout, but also play their part in increasing your commercial success.
First impressions matter and shop layout, customer flow planning and showing off your brand personality are all important in high street retail environments. We plan and build spaces that make the most of every square foot and move customers from the front door to the till.
We work with corner shop owners and community stores on full fit outs and refurbishments. From planning shelf positioning, layouts for refrigerated stock and installing energy efficient fixtures, we handle everything you need to create a space customers come back to.
Pharmacies, dental surgeries and clinical retail spaces have a lot to deal with when it comes to compliance requirements, as well as creating areas that match their brand. We have experience fitting out clinical and non-clinical retail spaces to your exact commercial and compliance needs.

What is a retail fit out?
A retail fit out is the process of designing and installing interiors for commercial retail spaces including planning layouts, fixtures, joinery, flooring, lighting and all finishes. Retail fit outs can include work in new builds, and refurbishing existing spaces.
What does a retail fit out include?
Retail and shop fits include a site survey and assessment, space planning, CAD and 3D designs, in-house joinery and manufacturing, installation and complete project management throughout the programme. The scope of your project will be specific to what you need, but we’ll confirm everything with you before we start.
How long does a retail fit out take?
The timescale for your project will depend on the size and specifications we’re working with. Smaller units with straightforward specifications can be a few weeks where more complex or larger programmes can take longer. We’ll be able to give you a firmer timescale once we’ve spoken with you about your shop fit out programme.
