Floor & Decor stores handle a level of inventory density that most retail environments don’t come close to. Their expansion program requires more than just square footage. It calls for layouts that can handle pallet-scale deliveries, customer browsing with carts, and on-site contractor pickups, all within the same space. SBLM helps make that possible by planning around logistics first, aesthetics second.

Product movement shapes the design. These stores are built for constant restocking of bulky, heavy merchandise. That means wide aisles, slab-rated flooring, reinforced storage areas, and back-of-house spaces that can support forklifts and direct access from loading docks. SBLM integrates those needs early so the building supports the operation without compromise. Customers navigate the store in long dwell times. They are comparing surface finishes, patterns, and textures. The space needs to stay visually organized even with high product turnover. SBLM uses layout geometry, lighting zones, and wayfinding to break up the volume without interrupting sightlines.

Contractors and professionals often use the store as a jobsite extension. Designated pro zones, pickup counters, and material check areas are built for speed and volume. These zones are separated from general retail to reduce friction and support both types of customers at once. Storefronts are planned around high visibility and truck access. Signage is large format but integrated with the site’s local restrictions. In tight infill locations, SBLM has reworked conventional dock placement and parking strategies to allow for safe loading without blocking customer flow.
