Take this virtual tour, and see what Fixture Lab does!

The Hub Bicycles

At Fixture Lab, we get this question all the time: “We are remodeling our store and we could use some help, but I don’t really know what you guys actually do in the process. What do you do?” So, as we were looking at our photos of The Hub, we got to thinking that this would be an ideal opportunity to show off the new store AND help everyone understand the things we typically do in the store design/remodeling process.

Check out the video. Inside you’ll see nicely handled examples of these common things we address:

  • Creating great storytelling opportunities in your store
  • Great store flow design
  • Specifying and using standard and custom Fixture Lab fixtures
  • Service, cash wrap and bar counter design and fabrication
  • Choosing paint and other finishes, including tasty wood wall textures
  • Custom bike displays
  • Adding local flavor to the space
  • Custom graphics and signage (interior and exterior) including fun items like neon signs
  • New concept for a “cash wrap” transaction counter
  • Designing and utilizing sexy, effective lighting

You will love this tour, so pop some popcorn and your beverage of choice, and have fun!

When you’re done, reach out to The Hub and tell them what a good job they did!

 

Did you know you can make a fixture any color? And we mean ANY color.

You’ve probably seen the Eclipse Wheel Displayer in some of our photos or posts before, but this one has an exciting new twist that we figured you would want to know about.

The Eclipse makes displaying a wheel very easy and the fixture is super simple and elegant. What you might not know is although the standard color is silver, we can make any fixture ANY color you want…like this little devil in black.  All you need to do is call us and we will walk you through the ins and outs of how to do it.

One more juicy detail shown here: If you need, we can make you a custom, wall-mounted bar to hang your Eclipse on. Just give us a call if you want to know more.

Putting up the logo sign…One of the most satisfying things to do in a new store!

Watching a store come to life is so exciting, and yesterday I got to tackle one of the most satisfying parts…putting up the logo sign for the brand new Trouts Fly Fishing store in Denver. When that logo goes up, you can suddenly feel how cool the whole space is going to be.

This particular installation had a high penalty for failure. We designed the wall (which will be behind the cash wrap counter) with hot-rolled steel on it…ooh la la. Installing the sign meant drilling holes through the new wall to hang the letters/logo. Nobody wants extra holes in their brand new steel wall.

Check out the time-lapse below of me installing the sleek new sign. I make it look so easy, right? Good thing you can’t see me pitting out while I do it!

The logo was built by Artcraft Sign Co. here in Denver and it looks fantastic.
