Get a Retail Refresh
Cosmetic remodeling isn't just about aesthetics, although if your store is looking rundown or outdated, we can help you achieve a fresh, exciting new look. A retail refresh can involve adding more space by bumping out walls or reconfiguring your current layout to use existing space more efficiently. We can also set up a wide range of visual enhancements, from head-turning window displays to captivating wall signage, that make passersby want to walk in and regular customers want to stay longer.
- Walls bumped out or layouts reconfigured for better use of space
- Dated finishes replaced with a current, on brand store look
- Window displays and wall signage installed to draw traffic in
Lighting & Display Solutions
CMIC can modify and install a wide array of fixtures and fittings, from custom lighting needs to specialized display cases. We arrange your products so they're the very first thing a potential customer notices when they walk into your store, helping showcase your goods effectively and improving customer satisfaction.
- Custom lighting packages installed for merchandise and signage
- Specialized display cases modified or built for your products
- Product placement planned around the customer's path through the store
Custom Woodwork Is No Problem
We provide millwork modification and installation services for all types of projects and can modify or install any structure you want.
