15 store design ideas across retail types, by Progroup

Planning to open a shop but not sure where to start? Browsing real examples is the fastest way to find direction. This gallery rounds up 15 store types — from hardware and building-material shops to minimarts, pharmacies and pet stores — all designed, built and fitted out by Progroup with custom shelving, racking and counters.

Short answer: Choose a store design that matches your product category and brand colours. Progroup custom-builds shelving, racking and checkout counters to suit each store type — minimart, hardware, pharmacy, pet store and more — and provides a free layout plan when you order.

Match the fixtures to your store type

The quickest way to choose shelving is to start from your products: heavy-duty rack-cover shelving for hardware and building materials, mesh-back or solid-back shelving for groceries and minimarts, hook displays for cosmetics and variety goods, and chillers or counters where needed.

Minimart

Minimarts thrive on a consistent, trustworthy look: a branded storefront sign, colour-coordinated shelving and checkout counter, and dedicated stock shelving. A clean single-tone scheme makes the shop feel professional.

Hardware & building materials

These shops suit bold brand colours carried across the sign, counter and heavy-duty rack-cover shelving — a coordinated palette makes a hardware-heavy interior feel organised and on-brand.

Agricultural supply

Large signage paired with shelving in matching tones — orange-and-black, deep green, or blue-and-orange — ties the storefront to the interior, with earthy greens suiting the agricultural theme.

Pharmacy

Pharmacies suit warm, professional fixtures such as brown- or green-toned counters and sideboard cabinets with glass display shelving, which make the store feel welcoming and easy to browse.

Pet shop & superstore

Pet shops pair a welcoming storefront with light-boxed shelving and tidy counters, while superstores benefit from a clean, modern fit-out with stainless-topped checkouts and clearly labelled aisle signage.

Does Progroup design the shop layout for me?

Can shelving be custom-made to match my brand colours?

Custom colours, sizes and functions are all available to keep the interior consistent with the brand.
