Throughout our 20+ year history, we have observed that retail merchandising units consistently deliver exceptional performance metrics:
Higher Sales Per Square Foot
Industry data showed that RMUs and kiosks often generated two to three times more revenue per square foot compared to inline retail stores, thanks to their compact size and high-traffic placement that maximized impulse purchases and visibility.
Lower Overhead and Faster ROI
Retail carts and RMUs typically cost 50 to 70 percent less to lease than traditional storefronts in the same location. With reduced staffing needs and minimal infrastructure requirements, vendors often recouped their investment significantly faster.
Flexible Setup with Minimal Commitment
Pre-fabricated RMUs proved ideal for testing new markets, launching seasonal promotions, or expanding without the time and cost associated with full retail buildouts.
While these custom designs represent our design capabilities and engineering expertise, we now focus on delivering proven, in-stock retail display solutions that incorporate the best features and lessons learned from these custom projects.
