What is the Modular Retail trend?
Modular Retail: Over the past couple of years, pop-up stores have been allowing retailers to quickly test their products with convenience and efficiency in many different areas. Now, store designers are recognizing the importance of modular design when it comes to temporary -- and in some cases, permanent -- retail. Creating a modular physical store allows for it to be deconstructed and reconstructed quickly, which saves time when it comes to moving locations, and it also allows retailers to reuse materials, thereby saving costs.
