Get Support for Your Store Openings

Opening a retail store, whether it’s your first or your fiftieth, is a big undertaking. There’s so much to consider, and when it comes to your goods not for resale (GNFR), that’s no different.

You’ll probably have a long list of essential, repeat-order items that will keep the store running day to day. But you’ll also have a list of one-off or unique things you need to help celebrate your store opening.

At Worldpack, we’ve been supporting store openings for 34 years, and in the last 12-months alone, we’ve supported the opening of 230 retail stores across the world.

Here’s how we can help you with your next store opening.

GNFR store opening support

When you’re planning your store opening, the last thing you need is a last-minute scramble to source items for your store or for things to be overlooked that could affect, or delay, your opening experience.

We work closely with all our retail clients to build bespoke store opening kits. This ensures you have everything you need to open on time and give your customers the best in-store experience.

Every kit contains all the essentials your store needs as well as anything extra that your store might require. This can include everything from bags, till rolls and clothes hangers to displays, tagging equipment and store signage.

We create individual kits by brand and store size – so if you’re opening more than one store at the same time, every store will have the same GNFR items, but in the quantities they need. This consistency is essential for your customer experience.

Our large warehouse also means we have the capacity to stock and hold your items for long periods of time. We can make sure your GNFR is ordered well in advance and on our shelves, ready to be dispatched precisely when you need it.

 

Out-of-the-ordinary items for your store opening

As you can imagine, after 34 years, we’re no strangers to sourcing unusual or unique, one-off GNFR items for store opening events, pop-up or concept stores. A successful store opening relies on attention to all the small details that create the right atmosphere and shopping experience for your customers.

Whatever your plans for your store opening, we can help bring them to life by sourcing specific and hard-to-get items six weeks ahead of your opening.

We’ve helped our clients source fridges for drinks receptions in-store, surfboards for themed opening events, and even giant animal figures. If you need inspiration for your store opening, take a look at our blog dedicated to some of the more unusual items we’ve procured over the years for our retail clients.

To ensure that nothing goes wrong during transportation and delivery, we offer a dedicated, timed, white-glove delivery service. This gives you peace of mind that things will run smoothly in the build-up and preparation for your store opening.

Reliability is all part of our Service with Guts promise to you.

 

Logistical support

Having the right GNFR is just part of making sure your store opening is a success. Having a partner by your side that can ensure the logistical side runs smoothly too, is invaluable.

This is something we’ve been continuously refining during the last three decades, so that our clients never have to worry about being let down at the last minute.

Our warehouse is large enough to fit a football field inside, giving us ample space to store large amounts of inventory. Being part of Bunzl also allows us to take advantage of economies of scale, so we can offer a huge range of products at competitive prices. When you’re opening a new store, it’s key that you have confidence that we won’t run out of an item or hit you with sudden price increases.

Thanks to our leading-edge warehouse systems, we’re quick to dispatch what you need when you need it too.

When we deliver for your store opening, you can expect all of your delivery boxes to be colour-coded by category and loaded on to pallets that are collated by colour for easy identification and unpacking.

All of these pallets are then numbered and placed on the delivery truck in sequence, with a corresponding delivery note that details what is contained within each numbered pallet.

These finer details help to make sure that your store opening runs smoothly with no hidden surprises.

Our experience working with retailers worldwide can help ensure your store opening runs smoothly and sets you up for future success.
