Sports Shop Fixture Checklist
Hang the kit, shelf the box, keep the centre as a walk. A grocery island of bars is the wrong hero for an independent sports shop.
A sports shop fixture checklist is hang, shelf, and floor capacity without a supermarket gondola as the hero. Independent sports and outdoor shops in Thailand often copy either a fashion boutique or a minimart spine. The shops that convert hang the garment, shelf the boxed shoe and the bottle, and keep the centre as a walk plus one campaign — not a grocery island of protein bars.
This is 30–80 square metre specialty retail: running, gym, swim, outdoor, team basics. Buyer’s guide is the piece catalogue. Clothing racks vs slatwall is the hang split. Shoe fixtures if footwear is real.
The list
| Job | Fixture | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Apparel size run | Hangrail on the perimeter | Double vs single by garment length |
| Graphic / drop | Faceouts, few | Face-out vs shoulder-out |
| Shoes | Sample on a ledge, sizes in back | Not a box wall in the aisle |
| Bottles / smalls | Peg or shelf, labelled | Pegboard |
| Campaign | One table or one four-way | Not both plus a gondola |
| Pack / pay | Wrap that takes a bulky bag | Cash wrap |
| Forms | One or two, or none | Mannequins |
A centre gondola helps only when SKUs are counted and the floor is wide. Under 50 sqm of apparel-led sports, it usually splits the walk. We do not position as a minimart house; say so if you actually are one.
How much shelving after the hang is placed. Layout: decompression empty, sightline to a story, wrap last.
Mall height and delivery for bulky cartons — landlord restrictions. Materials for wet-looking finishes if you sell swim; we do not publish rust warranties.
What to skip
A fashion-only perimeter with no shelf for shoes. A supermarket spine of bars in a 40 sqm run shop. Six mannequins. Pegboard as the apparel wall.
Common mistakes
- Gondola first.
- Every shoe size on the floor.
- No labelled smalls.
- Four-way plus table plus island.
- Hangrail height from a fashion lookbook when you also hang shorts — write millimetres.
What belongs on the quotation
- Hang vs shelf split per wall.
- Shoe ledge vs back storage.
- Peg or shelf for smalls.
- One floor feature, named.
- Language of the document, Thai or English.
Send shop type (run, gym, mixed), whether shoes are a department, and floor size. That is enough to specify a sports floor instead of a boutique with kibble-aisle energy.
Hang the kit, shelf the box, walk the centre
If you are fitting a sports shop in Thailand, start with perimeter hang and sitting metres, then one campaign. Send the shop type, the size, and the opening month through the fixture plan form. We will return one fixture schedule and one written quotation — Thai or English — covering rails, shelves, and the walk.
Common questions
- Do sports shops need a centre gondola?
- Only for counted bays on a wide floor. Apparel-led shops under 50 sqm usually skip it.
- Should every shoe size be on display?
- No. One sample per style on a ledge. Sizes in labelled back stock.
- Four-way or table for the weekly drop?
- Pick one. Two floor features in 40 sqm split the walk.
- Pegboard for apparel?
- For bottles and smalls, yes. For garments, use hangrail. Peg as a fashion wall looks like overflow.
