Remodeling an Existing Store

Convenience Store Remodeling Company

A remodel is a harder problem than a new build. The walls, the utilities and the cooler openings are already where they are, and the store still has to make sense to the customer who has been shopping it for fifteen years. JayComp Development has designed and built more than 2,500 convenience stores, liquor stores and travel centers since 1996, and brings the same floor plan, equipment and installation work to a building that already exists.

Tell us about the store

What is changing, and does the store need to keep trading while the work happens? That answer usually sets the whole schedule, so it is the first thing we ask.

What a Convenience Store Remodel Covers

Walk-in coolers and freezers

Replacing a failing box, adding doors, or retrofitting an existing one with new refrigeration. Refrigeration load and power requirements are calculated for the building you have, not a generic template.

Walk-in coolers

Glass display doors

Swapping older cooler doors for current display-door lines changes both the energy profile and how the beverage wall reads from the front of the store.

Display doors

Shelving, gondolas and cabinetry

Reconfiguring gondola runs and sightlines, and replacing checkout counters and back-bar millwork that has taken twenty years of traffic.

Shelving and cabinets

Adding food service

The most common reason a store remodels at all. Adding a kitchen or grab-and-go changes plumbing, electrical, ventilation and the whole traffic path — not just the corner it sits in.

Food service equipment

Beer caves

Converting a section of the store, or an existing cooler, into a walk-in beer cave with its own entrance and merchandising.

Graphics and decor

Interior and exterior graphics, category signage and the colour scheme that ties a refreshed store together.

How a Remodel Runs

The same eight steps we run on a new build, worked against a building that already exists.

  1. Measure what is there

    A remodel starts from the building you have — existing walls, utilities, cooler openings and the equipment worth keeping.

  2. New floor plan

    The layout is redrawn around the existing shell, so the plan works with the columns, doors and drains that are not moving.

  3. Equipment package

    Selecting and arranging what gets replaced, and specifying where the plumbing lands.

  4. Framing layout

    Interior walls for any reconfigured space.

  5. Electrical layout

    Power requirements for the new equipment package, against what the building already carries.

  6. Refrigeration design

    Walk-in cooler and freezer elements with refrigeration calculations and power requirements.

  7. Cabinets and shelving

    Counter, cabinet and gondola layouts, including cup, condiment and waste stations.

  8. Delivery and installation

    The equipment package is delivered and installed — one company from the drawing through the install.

If the store is being rebuilt rather than refreshed, the convenience store design guide covers layout principles in depth, and floor plan examples show real layouts. For the full service range, see store design and development, or browse completed projects.
