YOUR OPERATING BRIEF

Plan for the Way This Store Works.

Build the first fixture schedule from four inventories: singles, slabs, sealed products and accessories. Show selling stock separately from reserves, then allocate checkout, trade-in and any event seating.

Review the busy-day scenario

Walk the proposed plan during a simulated release-day queue. Confirm that a shopper can browse accessories while staff replenish sealed boxes and another customer inspects a single card.
