Reopening Your Retail Store in 2021

As we fast approach reopening our retail doors to the public on Monday, here are some tips to make sure you and your team are ready

Have you updated your opening hours on your website and Google My Business?

Have you ensured all staff have completed a back to work form? (this can be informal but it’s important).

Ensure that your shop layout allows for customers and employees to frequently sanitise their hands before touching merchandise.

Traffic flow: Consider how customer move through your shop, and find ways to reduce congestion and prolonged close contact e.g. queue markers or a one way system.

Evaluate mechanical, ventilation, water and gas systems as applicable: ensure nothing has gone wrong or needs maintenance.
