There are over a million retail stores in the United States alone, and they average one renovation every five years. Store managers are pushed to find time for research on how to best showcase mechandise or optimize traffic flow. This reference contains standardized graphic-design details and specifications for retail stores and displays, which should save time for architects, interior designers, contractors and other professionals. Topics covered include standard shelving and merchandise kiosks, handicapped access and store circulation patterns. Other information includes design techniques for all store components, such as display structures, interior finishings and architectural elements; precise graphic details, with standard dimensioning and specifications, including ADA guidelines; generic floor plans and store layouts for all major store types; coverage of retail "outposts" such as mall kiosks and outdoor displays; and photographs of lighting, displays and interiors.
