Project Focus: Shoppers Drug Mart - Square One Shopping Centre - New Interior Fit-Up

If you've been to Square One Shopping Centre recently, you may have noticed the major expansion to the north west area of the building. According the press release, $84-million is being invested into a major renovation of the common areas, food court and shopper amenities. The design vision aims to infuse exciting architecture and create a sense of place throughout.

The north west expansion is also home to the newly-renovated Shoppers Drug Mart. We worked with Shopper's to create a unique store front using customized glazing and sleek black metal sign boxes around the perimeter of the store.

This job wasn't without its challenges. All building service lines run through this store location so it was necessary to drop the store ceiling height to accommodate the service lines. Royalty's team made it work and on tight timelines.

According to the Shopper's Drug Mart press release, the design was inspired by a gift box and the idea of unravelling a ribbon to reveal the present. The ribbon concept can be seen in the elements of the store design including the digital signage wrapped around the boutique and the finishing elements extending over the fixtures to the ceiling. The boutique's design allows customers to feel comfortable browsing in an environment that is modern, sleek and interactive while also catering to their need to complete their shopping quickly.
