You're opening or renovating a supermarket. We design the floor plan, source shelving · lighting · refrigeration · POS · ESL from vetted Chinese factories, and deliver it all — so you focus on your customers, not on logistics.
We are your retail design consultant and sourcing advisor. We don't sell products. We design your store refurbishment, optimize store layout, and connect you directly with cost-effective factory partners — so you pay factory prices, not retail markups.
We partnered with the Taichung store team on their supermarket renovation. Compared to local Taiwanese suppliers, we saved them nearly 50% on equipment costs, upgraded them to more advanced store systems, and helped reduce labor costs by nearly 40% while improving customer satisfaction.

Read More →ChinaRetailDesign was founded by a supermarket designer who believes a store's success is decided on the drawing board — layout, customer flow, lighting and equipment must work as one system.
In 2026, we led a delegation of major buyers on a firsthand tour of China's leading retail equipment factories — from smart POS to shelving, lighting, bakery machines and e-labels. That experience became our model: one design-led interface between overseas retailers and China's best factory network.
