Il1f NEW CONCEPT in store design and merchardising is

6s;ng introduced by Sentry Hardware Corp. and its D distributor members.

Called The Store of Tomorrow, it uses a rrw modular design to attract more customers. increase traffic, enhance sales and boost profis. The Store of Tomorrorv's red, white ard blw sore front establishes a patriotic color theme that extends into and throughout the building. Exterior signage prominently displays both dealer name and Sentry logo. A touch ofwood gives warmth to the entrance.

Functional interior plans are custom designed to meet individual dealer needs. High rise traffic stoppers with dump bins at eye level, power aisles and directional striping on the floors guide traffic to maximize sales per square foot of floor space and encourage customers to shoP more often and longer. End caps, with strong signage, direct customers to profitable departments at the rear of the store. Home project center wall promotional areas promote event selling. The checkout area. which uses the woodlike theme, is designed as a high impulse promotional sales area.

Interior design utilizes the neu'est, Proven retail nrerchandising techniques, including modular displays, high rise promo' tional dump bins, and promotional islands that feature "specials." Maximum use is made of merchandisedominated displays that make the store look full while reducing item depth and promote cross-aisle selling. The 'tube" is nprchandised to the fullest extent.
