A leading discount retailer in the UK that has over 500 stores and employs over 28,000 staff, required the support of RGIS. The discount retailer has traffic of over four million customers weekly throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Departments include home, garden, back to school, toys, food, health and beauty.
THE CHALLENGE
The discount retailer required 900+ experienced merchandisers to help support a major renovation initiative. Some stores were moving to new buildings and the rest of the stores would receive new fixtures.
The discount retailer required RGIS to provide the following:
- Experienced merchandisers in all stores across the UK
- New fixtures and signage to be correctly installed
- Planograms had to be executed accurately in every store
- Once completed, tidy and clean the store ready for opening
