EptaConcept with a new look-and-feel

Grocery retailers are increasingly placing emphasis on markets that embody individuality. This uniqueness should not only be reflected in a special product range – such as regional and high-quality foods, organic, and vegan products – but also in each market having a distinctive identity for customers while simultaneously providing them with an unparalleled shopping experience. Ultimately, this is the crucial way to differentiate themselves from online commerce.

Portfolio expanded

Creating such a shopping experience requires experts who are knowledgeable about planning and designing retail spaces. At Epta, this is the team of EptaConcept, consisting of designers, architects, and engineers. They advise clients, plan and design their retail spaces, gastronomy areas, or themed sections, and implement them. For Epta, it was a logical step to incorporate their extensive experience in collaborating with grocery retailers into the new store design service, thus meaningfully complementing their own portfolio of offerings. In this way, the company can now offer everything from a single source: from planning and designing a new supermarket to installing refrigeration units and cold systems, all the way to after-sales service.

Own website for store construction

EptaConcept originated in France, where the team has been successfully planning and implementing supermarkets and hypermarkets for many years. "In Germany, too, there will be more orders for design concepts in the future," says Bernd Haller, Managing Director of Epta Germany. "To make our services even more well-known, we launched our own website for EptaConcept in September."

Launched." There, interested parties can find information about the working methods and the type of projects that the team specializes in. To get a clearer picture of EptaConcept's services, taking a look at the success stories of projects already implemented in Europe and worldwide is helpful. These range from micro-concepts and food corners to gas stations and specialty stores, all the way to complete store designs.
