The Power of Remodeling

Remodeling is a very powerful tool any business can afford to use in order to gather new business. Without a doubt, if a company has the means to remodel a store, then let it be done. The look of yesterday is not matching the look of today. So companies, with the means to support remodels of their stores or places of business, are doing so. It is clear that remodels spark new interest in frequent clientele and now attract new clientele. People seem to be drawn and captivated by new and improved stores.

            Now that companies have realized the power of remodeling, we have felt it right here in our own city. Mall Del Norte, with its previous remodel, is now having the stores inside of it remodel as well. From what we can tell, the urge to revamp a business came from the remodeling of Victoria Secret, women's lingerie, apparel, and beauty products, in the year of 2010. The entire store got a complete new make-over. This was for the better; because the store was beginning to look tired. Now the store looks much more modern and chic. It became three times as big as it was before and now it seems to have more and more people stopping by to partake in what it has to offer. The remodeling of Victoria Secret seemed to inspire other stores in the mall to revamp. Shortly after Victoria Secret remodeled their store, Express, a retail company, started the remodeling process as well. The store before looked out-dated and in need of a face lift. Now the store looks even better and more spacious than it did before. Although Express had many customer before the remodeling, it obvious that it has seen more customers now. This year in 2011, Hot Topic, a retail company specializing in music and pop culture, seemed to come out of the darkness and into the light. From the way Hot Topic looked before, it was small, dark, and black. Now, however, it looks so much brighter, bigger, and much more inviting than it's previous look. People really seem to be taken by it and come in much more than before.

During the same year as Hot Topic's remodel, Aeropostale, a clothing company, started the remodeling process as well. The store before its remodel was very small and very narrow. Now the store is much bigger and much brighter. It tripled in size and in product. The store now sees much more business than previous years. The space really helps, during those crowded times, and with a bigger store means much more product and a need for a bigger staff.
