In the latest episode of The Retail Tea Break Podcast I'm joined by Mark Wolfe Managing Director of Atkins and Peter Rigney founder of Rigney Forge Ltd. to explore the award-winning transformation of Atkins' Bandon store.
Atkins is a fifth-generation Irish family business, established in 1878, with customer relationships that span generations.
It's a brilliant conversation with two people who understand that great store design is about much more than how a store looks; it's about how a retail business works.
✨The best stores are those that work for everyone: customers, colleagues and the communities they serve✨
