Living in Hervey Bay and experiencing the new store I find it just too big. - People are wandering looking for product and while your staff are helpful they cant be all things to all people all the time!!
May I suggest that at each store entry point you have a touch screen -eg screws - Aisle 13.
I believe this would be of great assistance - your old store had a person at the entry which was great.
Such a system would work wonders I believe and have your customers through much more quickly and take away people trying to find a store person.
Just a thought.
