## What Is a Retail Store Fit-Out?

A retail fit-out is the built fixtures that sell your product: the cash wrap, wall displays, display cases and tables. Fixtures need to look like your brand, carry merchandise without sagging and take daily hits from bags, carts and customers. They also have to go in without closing the store for weeks.

We build retail fixtures in our GTA shop alongside our 

custom millwork

[/custom-millwork-woodwork-toronto/ →](/custom-millwork-woodwork-toronto/)

, using HPL, hardwood edging and commercial hardware. Most work is in independent boutiques on Queen West, Leslieville and The Junction, and in mall stores downtown.

## Types of Retail Fixtures

### Cash wraps

The counter where customers pay: POS routing, bag and tissue storage, locking cash drawers and a durable top.

### Wall display systems

Slatwall or shelving systems with hardwood-edged shelves and integrated lighting.

### Display cases and tables

Glass-top cases with LED lighting for jewellery and small goods, and display tables with stock drawers.

### Multi-store rollouts

Standard fixtures repeated across locations, built from drawings we keep on file.

## Retail Fit-Out Pricing

Retail work is quoted per project after a CAD layout. Fixture counts, finishes and lighting vary too much for a single published range. You receive a written quote naming every fixture, material and finish before any deposit.

| Scope | Typical timeline |
| --- | --- |
| Cash wrap with POS + bag storage | 4-6 wks |
| Wall display system, per 10 lf | 4-6 wks |
| Display case or table | 4-5 wks |
| Full boutique fit-out | 6-8 wks |

> **Protect the corners**
> 
> Retail fixtures fail at the corners first. Solid hardwood edging on HPL panels keeps them looking sharp after thousands of bag hits.

## Common Retail Fixture Problems

### Chipped laminate corners

Fixed with hardwood edging.

### Sagging shelves under stock

Fixed with proper shelf spans and commercial supports.

### Closing the store for installs

Fixed with overnight and between-day installs. For galleries and design showrooms, see

## Planning a Retail Fit-Out

Start with the merchandise. Apparel needs hanging, face-outs and folded tables. Jewellery needs locked, lit cases at eye level. Home goods need adjustable shelving and display tables with stock below. Write down the product mix and roughly how many units you want on the floor at once; that sets the length of wall systems and the number of tables and cases.

Then plan the path. Customers usually turn right on entering, so the first wall is your best display space. The cash wrap belongs where staff can see the door and the fitting rooms. Keep main aisles at least 36 inches wide, and wider if your customers bring strollers.

## Brand and Material Choices

### Brand colours

Painted finishes are colour-matched to your brand guide; wood species and stains can be matched to a sample.

### HPL for durability

HPL panels handle daily knocks from bags and carts.

### Hardwood edging

Solid edges protect corners, the first place retail fixtures fail.

### Lighting

LED channels in cases and shelving light product, not the floor.

### Fire rating

Where landlords or code require it, we use ASTM E84 Class A panels.

## Caring for Store Fixtures

Clean HPL with a mild cleaner, check shelf supports when you re-merchandise, and tighten slatwall inserts during seasonal changeovers. Hinges and locks on cases adjust with a screwdriver.

## Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Fixture Shop

-   Can you install overnight or between trading days?
-   Will you provide shop drawings for my landlord?
-   How quickly can you issue a COI?
-   Can you repeat these fixtures in my next location?
-   What materials will hold up to daily use?
