·         Make sure that even after all this stuff there is sufficient space in the front segment for customers to move around easily. Also, bear in mind that the walkways provided should be wide enough for customers using wheelchairs.

It is essential to set aside an alluring corner in the front segment where you could sit as the owner of the shop. This meeting area should include chairs and a small table.

·         There need be a counter partition between the front and the back segment of the shop to separate the two segments. Counter can be used not only as a counter, but also to place various essentials of shop including the telephone, cash register, credit card machine, floral preservative packets, plastic card picks, pens, and small cards.
