RETAIL RETAIL STORE DESIGN RETAIL STORE DESIGN SILVER SILVER Stores in excess of 10,001 sq. ft. in area Stores in excess of 10,001 sq. ft. in area Euro Tile & Stone Ottawa, Ontario Sport Chek Edmonton, Alberta Located on a site that was to be expropriated by the City of Ottawa, Euro Tile & Stone’s owners seized the opportunity to move to a new location, expand and reinvent the showroom’s shopping experience. As Ottawa’s premier importer, distributor and retailer of tile and stone products, the mandate was to create a 10,000 sq. ft. showroom which would exemplify design, inspire creativity, and reveal the endless possible applications of tile and stone. Using primarily their own materials to design and build the showroom, and by introducing elements such as the impressive 18 ft. replica of Michelangelo’s statue of David, customers are taken on a journey throughout this remarkable space. Overall, the new design has had incredible success as it not only showcases the countless ways to use and apply all the products that they sell, but it also demonstrates Euro Tile & Stone’s knowledge and expertise when it comes to the products they offer and reestablishes the company as the leader in their industry. In January 2014, Sport Chek, Canada’s home for sporting goods, footwear and apparel, opened its flagship store at North America’s largest shopping mall – West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta. The Sport Chek West Edmonton Mall flagship store consolidated two FGL properties (Sport Chek and Atmosphere) with one new 77,000 square foot “Temple of Sport.” The flagship store features a new experiential retail environment that is heightened through strategic space planning, action merchandise displays, powerful graphics and industry-leading digital elements that entertain, educate and inspire. 52
