its customers with one ethic throughout all of its

outputs.. . convenience.

Looking at the customer: menswear‘They shop the way they drive’ Paco Underhill.

From undertaking research into the male customer demographic the conclusion that was made was that the conventional man either hates shopping for clothes or see it as a chore.

The concept for this high street store was generated from this research; which is simply quickconvenience. An express way of shopping.‘Aisle’ provides an easily navigatable environment which is designed so that you can ‘pop’ in and easily grab the essential items that that customer intended to buy. however with certain devices the experience also transforms the planned visit into making unplanned purchases and encourage impulse buys.

The project was developed from the idea of a supermarket embodying a male comfort zone. The enviroment is familiar so the the fashion brand and shop fit out will strive to convey a language that connects the customer with the experience of grocery shoppingto accomodate the male shopper.

Self service Interface

Customers can choose which way to pay.

To add to the store ethic of quick convenience this allows customers who are perhaps in a

rush to quickly ‘pop’ in and out for their items, knowing this service is available may appeal

to a male demographic.
