As retailers rethink the physical layout of stores to meet the changing needs and preferences of customers as the economy reopens, one thing is certain: The team at Leon Williams Contractors is ready to help build the perfect retail space.

A Maryville construction company, Leon Williams has decades of experience working with business owners to find the right solution to their needs, whether a new custom-built space or by updating and renovating existing stores.

If a new facility is called for, our experts can help evaluate the best sites for the building. During construction, we’ll keep an eye on costs and use our value-engineering expertise to ensure the client is getting the most value for their money.

But catering to customer preferences doesn’t have to require building a brand-new commercial development. Existing spaces can be adapted to new trends. In a Commercial Observer article, the authors write that even small changes can make the difference when retooling retail properties and restaurants to appeal to consumers in the months and years ahead:

Take the expanded curbside pickup trend that exploded during COVID-19. By making simple, small changes, retailers have been able to capitalize on this way to purchase and pick up during the pandemic.

… Landlords will need to find quick, inexpensive ways to accommodate new consumer desires for more space and less contact — like bigger, outdoor patios at restaurants for al fresco dining. It’s all about identifying and tapping into the next wave of consumer interaction and patterning a property to accommodate them quickly.

Whether a full build or an interior renovation, Leon Williams has the experience and know-how to turn our clients’ visions into reality. Since 1964, we’ve been building retail spaces and restaurants throughout East Tennessee. Visit www.lwcontractorstn.com or call (865) 982-1734 to learn how we can help.
