Archived We're Going P-Fresh

That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying that for me. I hadn't realized that Spot could be such a problem here. and I apologize to Bullseye.

 

[Bullseye Flow TM]

Thank yous are in order here. Thank you to commie for coming to my defense in preferring to remain anonymous. You explained my thoughts quite well. (BTW, I'm a she 🙂 ) Thank you to seasonal for your apology, it is greatly appreciated. Also thank you to HLM about the maps to help guests as well as TMs know where aisles have been moved. An update on the maps almost daily is a great idea. 🙂

Sorry on the gender thing. As long as I've been online you'd think I'd have learned to at least learned to do the s/he.
The map thing is tough.
They do provide a rather obnoxious generic map template that usually falls to the signing person to fill out every day but it never looks anything like the store and is more confusing then helpful.
You might try scanning in a basic map from one of the signing layouts of your type of store and changing the locations.
We often ran out of maps by late in the afternoon.

Unless you have somebody dedicated to doing this, it will be difficult to keep up with it with everything that's going on. We just had a TM who walked around the store helping guests and answering questions during our remodel.

When my store remodeled, we had TMs who did this too.

I did the map on the aisles that were set & would not be moved. I did look at store blueprint on our breakroom wall which was highlight when completed. On the temp aisles, there was no listing.
Sorry for the confusion.

I read our table talker today that had a note from our STL. It really took me by surprise because I don't think it's meant to be made public yet. She asked us to tell our friends & family about our upcoming remodel to P-Fresh. Was she perhaps jumping the gun on this? I haven't talked to anyone about it other than other TMs. (And those here)

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Spot will advertise it too!

We had them but they were pretty much useless.

i liked hardlinesmaster's idea about constantly updating a store map and making sure all teams had a copy on hand. That's the kind of stuff we used to do at our store when we had ETLs and Teamleaders older than 35...but there was nowhere near this type of planning at my store during our remodel, and it showed.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Walk through market & you see 8 feet added to all aisles. A zoning nightmare, say it now & be ready for it.

Our Pfresh was last summer (a yr already?!). What we did on the map was take graph paper & draw up the current schematic. Areas that were set were in ink. We'd have a master copy with the permanent sets drawn then pencil in the temp placements. Each time a dept/area was set, that sketch became the new master.
That was what we made copies off of in addition to having a guest service TM walking around with a walkie & clipboard. They carried a stack of map copies but could call to find out where depts in transit were.

Your signing specialist or your ETL-Remodel should have received a CD with a pre-built store map with icons on it to drag/drop/rearrange to create a remodel store map.

I only wish.
I actually got pretty fast at sketching them up.

Yeah, but that thing was crap. You couldn't change the basic block layout--so if your store had more/fewer race track aisles than their template, the map wouldn't make any sense. We had to make our own.

We used one of the maps that comes with a signing package for sign placement.
Make lots of copies, use white out for changing sections and stickers for new labels.
Looks much better.

Ours pushed reshop or helped with end caps.
