Store Layout

The Nike Town layout is good at encompassing the marketing mix. This is achieved by huge photo murals of athletes with the Nike “Just Do It” slogan as part of the brand marketing strategy, easy and fun to shop, because of the unique design, series of pavilions dedicated to specific sports, easily flowing to other areas of the store so customers don’t feel trapped in a maze. The designers of the Chicago Michigan Nike Town Avenue store even managed to increased retail space by adding a fixture and incorporating the street into the marketing space by adding windows to showcase displays.
