  stores new look will be, to help you have a

  you like and dislike about your
  existing store. Prioritize and decide to change
  those things that arent working first. You can
  often cut remodeling costs by keeping the
  features you like in your existing store.

  layout you like, and make a plan within budget.

• Make a plan on where to place different elements
  like the stores service area, cash registers,
  merchandise, and storage. Visualize how the
  placement of fixtures will affect initial
  impressions and traffic flow to and from your
  store.

Determine your budget early in the process

• Find out how much money you can allocate towards
  the renovation. Before you commit to an expensive
  idea, you may want to compare its cost to
  something more practical if the dream build will
  negatively affect your cash flow.

  offered they are renovation experts! This does
  not mean that everything they advise will suit
  your vision, but it may save your money in the
