POOL RETAIL DISPLAY

Outdoor poolside retail carts designed for hotels and resorts

This collection of poolside retail carts was custom designed for the Mission Valley Hilton in San Diego to turn pool areas into profitable guest service zones. The project included three specialized units: the Merchandise Retailer, the Hair Wrap Station, and the Towel Vendor. Each cart featured traditional styling, welded aluminum canopies with stretched rubberized canvas, and customizable finishes to match hotel branding.

Designed for outdoor use, these carts combined mobile flexibility with secure storage. Roll-down or flip-up locking systems protected merchandise after hours, while heavy-duty wheels ensured the carts could be easily moved as needed.

What this project solves

This set of outdoor retail carts provided hotels and resorts with flexible, secure, and guest-friendly merchandising solutions. Each unit was purpose-built to support specific product types, from apparel and accessories to towels and comfort items. The durable construction and mobile design allowed staff to relocate units as needed, while locking mechanisms ensured inventory was protected during downtime.
