ironplanet uk900 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 We've got a very large space at the rear of our shop. Is it a good/bad Idea to move our shoe repair machines in there, to make more retail space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 If you have more than one person working in your shop I can’t see it being a bad idea as long as you still make it obvious you do shoe repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x minit uk Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 What % of turnover comes from your shoe repairs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 that is what I did 2 years ago and very happy with my decision. Re-decorated the sales/retail area to a nice/welcoming customer area and moved all the shoe repair related machinery to the rear of the shop (kept the key cutting business within the retail area ) However, if you 1 man shop and to plenty of shoe repairs/keys , it is not ideal as you have to move back and forward all the time.

Tricolourblade Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 It’s going back to how it used to be before and it worked well. Our shop was like it but new owners ( mentioning no name JT) have moved them out front and totally ruined the feel / atmosphere it had.
