It's now a week since we finished the re-fit of our Dunedin Meridian Centre store, with both customers and staff rapt with the new look. Store Manager Christine says that the changes, which happened during a whirlwind two weeks in February, use the space far better and makes the store a world-class retail area.
"We needed to use the space better in store and get the most from it, I think that's happened now," she says. "We have much more usable floor space, which displays the clothes better, and has a better flow for customers."
The space is much more open and inviting, and this in turn helps show the clothes off better.
"It's much more open and lighter, with a cleaner look and more space," says Christine. "There's also more fitting room space, making it more relaxing for guys to try things on, and there's a better flow for people to browse. Thanks to the signage areas in the window, sale time will be such a breeze with all the new rails - Thanks for thinking of us Jake!"
In addition to Barkers Visual Manager Jake's input, Sam, Kate, Kara, Alana and Christine and Brian had huge parts to play in the improvements, which have already been generating praise from the store's clientele.
"
People love the new look," says Christine. "We've had lots of great comments in the first few days, including many people saying this is the flashest store in town by a long shot."
If you're in Dunedin might we suggest you head along to the Meridian Centre and check it out for yourself. As you can see below, the team have worked wonders on the store...
