Hi there,

Could you give us a bit more context here?

If it's a “typical” store, then this would be exterior (signs, design, coloring, etc.) and interior (organization of shelves, product placement, “direction” of traffic, layout, etc.)

You can also look at it from a process perspective (customer entering, customer walking through the store, then customer paying/purchasing).

You have to breakdown the store into its several components, and then think about improvement opportunities for each one. Size, layout - Shelves, aisles, cashier, different product areas (food, non-food and actually going a layer below). 

To be honest, this can be a bit long to describe, so I hope I gave you some food for though. It would be good if you could take this and then provide a tentative answer, so we can see if there are any relevant gaps.

By the way, clarify if you are optimizing for something in particular.

Hope this helps!

By now, a great resource to practice this with is ChatGPT. You can even prompt it to come up with alternative structure types. 

Also, sharing with you an additional resource on brainstorming techniques that you might find useful to review:

Please post your ideas here and we can comment. 

If you can get answers to clarifying questions that's good. But store format could mean:

• size, layout, ambience of the store 

or

• Small store, demo/experience stores, pop-up store or standard retail stores
