Loop or Racetrack Layout
A single main aisle circles the store, leading customers past products in a deliberate path. This layout is good for guiding the customer journey but can limit exploration.
Geometric Layout
Makes use of racks and fixtures in geometric patterns to create a unique store feel. It's attractive and modern, but can be confusing for customers looking for specific items.
Herringbone Layout
Similar to grid layout but with central aisles leading to side aisles at an angle, resembling a fish skeleton. Helps guide customer traffic through the store but can be confusing and make some items hard to find.
Diagonal Layout
Includes aisles arranged diagonally for optimal visibility of merchandise. It allows for good customer traffic flow and provides more room for browsing, with visibility from the checkout area.
Boutique Layout
Creates intimate and upscale environments through grouped displays, often highlighting specific brands or themes. Encourages customers to linger but can mean less overall inventory on the floor.
Spine Layout
A variation of the grid layout but with a main central aisle (the spine) that branch off into sections. Offers a clear path through the store but may create congestion in the main aisle.
Angular Layout
Products are arranged at angles, this layout adds sophistication and a higher-end feel to stores. It focuses on selective product display but less efficient in terms of space utilisation.
Free-Flow Layout
Features fixtures and merchandise at angles to encourage exploration. Provides a relaxed atmosphere, allowing customers to move freely and encourages impulsive purchases. However, it may result in wasted space.
Minimalist Layout
Characterized by open space, and a focus on a minimal number of products. It highlights the products on sale but may not be efficient for stores with a large inventory.
Mixed Layout
Combines elements of grid, free-flow, loop, and boutique layouts to create a unique shopping experience. Tailored to the store’s target market but may be less predictable for the shopper.
Galleria Layout
Themed to feel like a gallery with a curated assortment of products. It encourages slow browsing and a focus on high-end products. However, this format might intimidate some budget shoppers.
Marketplace Layout
Emulates an open market or bazaar, with various vendors and types of merchandise intermixed. It can create a lively shopping environment but may overwhelm customers due to its perceived disorganization.
Straight Layout
Utilizes all walls and some center space for merchandise. Promotes a flow that can lead customers from the front to the back of the store, which can increase exposure to merchandise.
Warehouse Layout
Designed for bulk shopping with wide aisles and shelf-stocking space. It emphasizes volume and low prices, though it may not provide an intimate customer experience.
Grid Layout
Characterized by long rows of shelves or racks, organized in a grid pattern. Maximizes space efficiency and is ideal for stores with extensive inventory. Its familiar structure can lead to quick and efficient shopping for customers.
