Result
How it works
- Add your store's zones — entrance, displays, aisles, checkout.
- Arrange them in your floor's rough layout.
- Get a suggested customer traffic flow path.
The method
A right-hand traffic bias and standard entrance-to-checkout flow pattern are applied to your zone layout, based on common retail traffic behavior.
FAQ
Why does entrance placement matter for traffic flow?
Most shoppers in right-hand-traffic countries naturally turn right upon entering, so placing high-margin displays there tends to catch more browsing attention before customers reach the aisles.
Does this design an actual store layout for me?
No — this sketches a rough zone layout and suggested flow direction as a planning starting point, not a finished floor plan.
Can I sketch a layout for a non-retail space?
It's built around retail traffic conventions, but the same zone-and-flow approach can loosely apply to any space where you want to guide foot traffic.
