| An uncluttered layout punctuated with streamlined fixtures visually enlarges the 943-sq.-ft. “techno-loft” environment. Self-illuminated fixtures of unusual shapes position the brand among its target urban youth demographic as part of a cool lifestyle. With the core handset products in the forefront, complementary accessories along the sides draw attention to crucial P-O-P messages, while an oversized promotional panel stands out against a rear black wall. Judicious use of color breaks up the neutral backdrop. |

| Minimalist and modern, this 2,880-sq.-ft. prototype store instills tranquility in a format easily understandable to a diverse customer base. To one side, an Explore area highlights new and exciting mobile technologies. To the other side and in the center is a Choose area comprising tables with sample phones to engage customers and a perimeter bar facilitating service plan selections. Informal tables at the rear of the store, the Learn area, provide space for personalized tutorials. |
