Whereas visitors used to orientate themselves in the room only thanks to employees, now each department is signed. Visitors will immediately find the right product. The aisles between the shelves have also been extended so that customers with trolleys can stretch out without touching each other's elbows.

Today, changes in supermarkets are more focused on playing with the emotions of buyers. Since 2016 several brand new themed "Silpo" have been opened all over Ukraine: in the style of German village in Odessa, in Jamaican style in Brovary, based on the fairytale "Alice in Wonderland" and in the style of a medieval castle in Lviv, in the style of art deco and optical illusion in Kiev, in the style of railway in Kiev region, in rock-style in Ternopil and so on.

3. Nike Shops

In 2009 there were 674 branded retail stores worldwide, in 2018 — 1182. The company attracts famous athletes to promote its products: in 2010 Nike played Cristiano Ronaldo in sneakers, in 2018 the brand was presented by Colin Capernicus — quarterback for the San Francisco Forty Niners National Football League club. But if the brand still chooses athletes for advertising, the retail space is constantly changing, new technologies and services appear.

The new concept store in Los Angeles combines digital and brick-and-mortar technology. In this store, in addition to the shelving of goods, there is also a snicker bar: customers can consult on goods, test products on simulators, order individual models of sneakers or shorts. The concept is built on the basis of NikePlus users' data. You can book a product on NikePlus and pick it up in a store in an intelligent locker or using the Swoosh Text service. To learn more about a product, simply scan the code through the application.

Another feature is that the system knows about the visitor and his behavior before he enters the store. Users of NikePlus will know as soon as they appear in the geophoto area, and the system automatically detects and stores goods that may be useful to them.
