Store Layout Quiz

Drawing of a store that is a haven for shoplifters
Many shopowners, eager to sell their wares, jam a lot of stuff into a small space. The store illustrated here sells fabric and sewing supplies. It has many problems with poor sight lines and hidden corners. On the other hand, the nature of the merchandise the store sells probably lowers its risk for shoplifting. Fabric and sewing supplies are not in great demand on the second-hand market, but they are fairly expensive. Much of the merchandise is displayed on fabric bolts, which are quite bulky and heavy, yet other goods are small and light and easily concealed on the body.
