With an increase in stock demand and online orders, while dealing with a surge in employee absences, retailers and supermarkets have no option but to put radical plans in place to deal with these difficult circumstances to continue to support customers and our communities.
From providing a contactless safe haven for shoppers to collect their Click & Collect online orders to creating an NHS-employee or elderly-only pop-up convenience store on-site or on location, temporary pop-up structures can help support demand during these challenging and concerning times.
Customise containers for retail operations
Essentially a blank canvas, customised containers provide a highly flexible retail space that can be adapted and completely re-envisioned to assist with demand and help instil peace of mind in customers during these concerning times.

Regularly used as pop-up stores, and previously used as a vending machine application where no staff manning was required, customised containers can be used for a range of retail applications including use as a safe place for people to collect their Click & Collect orders without in-person contact.
Durable, secure and weatherproof, customised containers are easily transportable and can be placed on-site, in the outdoors. The openness of the structure can provide comfort for customers. When not in use, customised containers are lockable and 100% secure, meaning stock can be left unattended overnight.

Further, customised containers can be fitted with a disabled ramp, allowing for easy access for all. Alternatively, a counter can be added to ensure and maintain social distancing between employee and customers.
Customised Container: Gallery Plus

A 20' converted ISO shipping container, Gallery Plus is an evolution of our most popular Gallery container structure. Built to a high standard and finished in white with clean, clinical presentation, Gallery Plus is perfect for providing additional support for retail stores and supermarkets.
Pop-up units for retail operations
Big enough to make an impact without attracting large crowds or gatherings, pop-up units have everything on board to create a fully immersive supermarket experience. Perfect for creating a temporary supermarket at high demand locations or an NHS employee and elderly-only pop-up convenience store.

Pop-up units allow travel between locations easy and efficient, allowing for your pop-up supermarket to navigate to different areas and venues during prime days and times.
Pop-up Unit: Trekker

Seven meters in length with a vehicle build time of less than one hour, the Trekker pop-up unit has everything on board to create a fully immersive supermarket environment for up to 20 people. Trekker is accessible by ramp and sliding doors, allowing for quick and easy accessibility for all.
