Offline Store Interior Design Types and Trends
The role and importance of space designs in offline franchise stores differ depending on the nature of products/services offered.

After the analysis of the customer experience journey and the key spaces of various businesses that form the franchise industry, here are a few space design solutions that will have the highest impact when redesigned, were selected and given future spatial directions.
