Real Projects. Real Transformations. Real Results.
The best way to understand the impact of great retail design is to see it in action.
For more than 35 years, Broden Design Group has partnered with supermarket operators, grocery store chains, independent markets, and retail brands to transform shopping environments through strategic design, branding, fabrication, and installation. Our work spans everything from complete supermarket remodels and new store development to department branding, exterior renovations, signage systems, and chain-wide rebranding initiatives.
This collection of supermarket design case studies showcases how thoughtful retail design can elevate the customer experience, strengthen brand identity, improve shopper engagement, and help retailers stand out in competitive markets.
Whether you’re planning a grocery store remodel, supermarket rebrand, new store development, or multi-location rollout, these projects demonstrate the power of integrated retail design.
Why Retail Design Matters
Today’s shoppers expect more than aisles and shelves. They expect experiences.
Modern supermarkets must balance:
- Brand identity
- Customer flow
- Wayfinding
- Department differentiation
- Fresh food merchandising
- Exterior curb appeal
- Operational efficiency
The projects featured below highlight how Broden Design Group helps retailers achieve these goals through a complete design-build-install process.
Featured Supermarket Design Projects
Fresh Grocer of Brooklyn
Downtown Brooklyn, New York
One of Broden’s most unique supermarket projects, Fresh Grocer of Brooklyn transformed an 18,000-square-foot basement grocery store into a highly engaging retail destination within one of New York City’s most competitive grocery markets.
The challenge was significant.
The store operated below street level with no natural light and limited architectural features. To overcome these constraints, Broden implemented bold department branding, vibrant color palettes, integrated wayfinding, and continuous floor striping designed to guide shoppers throughout the space. The result was a visually dynamic shopping environment that differentiated the store from surrounding discount-oriented competitors while creating an experience focused on discovery and engagement.
Project Highlights
- Urban supermarket design
- Department branding
- Customer wayfinding
- Interior décor program
- Grocery store remodel
- Fresh food merchandising environment
