Why Shopping Centres will
continue to forge ahead
In the battle for locations, shopping centres will continue to forge ahead. This is true for the German-speaking
market as well as for many other European countries. The quality of the location itself, the more professional
infrastructure for retailers in comparison with shopping streets and skilful lobbying are just some of the reasons
for this development. Eastern Europe and Asia are even experiencing a real boom in shopping centres.
SHOP aktuell investigated the shopping and shopping-centre scene in order to bring you the latest details
regarding interesting facts and trends.
Actually, everyone is in agreement. TW maintains “Investors love
retail property”. ”No market saturation in sight” is the quintessence of the latest shopping-centre study published by the EHI,
and the UK retail publication RLI ran the headline “Europe’s centre boom“. The list of reports like these is almost endless, as is
that detailing new projects. The only voice of dissent is that of
6 UMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
“Die Welt” (26. 4.), which claims – referring to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers – that “The era of the shopping centre is over.”
It is a fact that for many years now the retail trade’s turnover in
shopping centre locations has developed much better than in the
classic shopping streets. One reason for this is that the efficiently

managed shopping centres provide more professional infrastructure conditions than are possible in traditional shopping streets,
despite all the enthusiastic city-marketing activities in the latter.
With their love of city centres, the shopping-centre developers
have also filled a market gap and thereby taken the wind out of
the sails of many of their critics. They present themselves correspondingly with growing confidence. “We are caught up in a
battle of locations. Who – apart from the shopping centres – can
replace the attractions of the crisis-ridden department stores?
And who else is going to invest in the inner cities and bring innovation?“ asked Matthias Böning, board member of mfi at a symposium arranged by the F.A.Z. Institute.
COUNTLESS PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE
Here at home, shopping centres are set to further increase their
market share. In the cut-throat competition between the various
locations it will not only be the shopping streets which will suffer
further losses, but the shopping centres will increasingly compete
against each other as well. There are countless projects in the
pipeline. The 384 large-size shopping centres in Germany (centres with at least 10,000 m²) will be joined by a further 64

major projects over the next three years. The total area will thus
increase by 1.8 million m² from 12.1 million m² to approximately
14 million m². The trend towards city-centre complexes will continue unabated, with most of them covering an area of between
10,000 and 30,000 m². The undisputed market leader in Germany
is the ECE, with a market share of more than 20 %, followed by
Metro Group Asset Management (approximately 10 %).
Over the next years, it is realistic to expect an additional 100,000 m²
sales areas in shopping centres in Austria (38 projects with more
than 5,000 m²). The market share here is already very high at
approx. 20 %; there are already 2.9 million m² of rentable space
in shopping centres (N.B.: in Austria shopping centres with more
than 5,000 m² are taken into account. In fact the way in which
shopping centres are measured varies from country to country,
which makes direct comparisons difficult). Atrio in Villach, Murpark in Graz and the recently completed Stadion Center in Vienna
were among the spectacular new projects during 2007. It will be
interesting to watch further developments in and around the capital, since some of the larger shopping centres have definitely seen
better days. In Graz the existing remarkably high density of shopping centres will be given an additional impetus: The Shopping
City Seiersberg will be expanded by an additional 25,000 m²; in
8 UMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
spring 2008 the SC Graz Nord will open; and animated discussions are already being held regarding an ECE project near the
main railway station in Graz. On the Hauptplatz in Innsbruck the
site of the former Tyrol department store is to be given a new
shopping atmosphere; and in Salzburg everyone is looking forward to the conversion of the Airport Center into a FOC.
After a creative pause, another shopping centre project which
has attracted international attention has been completed in Switzerland in the form of Sihlcity in Zürich. In Schönbühl near Bern,
Shoppyland, a dinosaur of a shopping centre dating from the
1970s, is undergoing major renovation. It will soon have direct
competition in the form of “Westside”, a magnificent shopping
and leisure centre to the west of the city.
THE SUCCESS FACTORS
Location, easy access, visibility (awareness), parking facilities
(sufficient spaces, easy approach and exit, size, easy access
to the shopping-center entrances), atmosphere, infrastructure
(information system, clean WC facilities, children’s play area, leftluggage lockers ...), the “right” size, simple orientation (“ease of
navigation”), range of goods on offer and an appropriate brand

Shopping Centres

image are still important factors when it comes to the success
of shopping centres. Also important for many shopping centres
is the “bare bones principle” (as Wolfgang Richter calls it), which
proposes anchor stores from four different branches as a factor
likely to ensure success (e.g. food, fashion, sports, electronics).
Of course there are a number of individual factors specific to the
location and the market which need to be taken into account. In
any case, mistakes in the planning phase are difficult to correct at
a later stage. “If I only get the second-best location, that is often
the beginning of the end.” (Wolfgang Richter).
But even choosing the correct size can be fraught with problems.
Shopping centres which are too small usually lack the range of
stores required and thus the competence and attractivity needed
to really reach the targeted catchment area. Centres which are
too big, on the other hand, have problems with area productivity
and thus with profitable rental revenues.
WHAT THE TENANTS AND CUSTOMERS REALLY WANT
We discussed in detail the tenants’ necessary and desirable
demands of a shopping centre with Dr. Stephan Mayer-Heinisch,
President of the Austrian Trade Association and a man with extenSHOP aktuell 102
sive international experience in the retail business. Of course,
many of these requirements are identical with the success factors. But the details make his statements more concrete:
• Easy accessibility from near and far (approach and departure,
awareness)
• Convenient parking (free, lighting, wide but short access
routes)
• Orientation before and after entering the shopping centre
• Clear positioning (e.g. as specialist market, fashion centre,
neighbourhood shops, FOC)
• Mix of types of store in the same branch (e.g. small and large
stores) to increase the variety and selection
• Activities and measures to extend the length of stay (gastronomy, entertainment, possibly cinema, meeting point, marketplace, events)
• Positioning as “third place” (the shopping centre becomes
the third place – after home and work – where time is spent,
because visitors like the atmosphere)
• Simple retreat logistics (easy and uncomplicated transport of
purchases)
• Professional centre management (incl. appropriate marketing
and advertising activities).

MAJOR AND MINOR TRENDS
The trend towards city-centre projects will
continue, at least in the medium term. There
are several reasons for this: the sickly state of
the classic department stores, unused plots
of land and buildings and – last but not least
– the changing approach to zoning policies
of many states and communities. Here and
there, “railway station projects” may play a
role. Whether they will be as successful as
that in Leipzig, however, is debatable.
popularity. Experts agree that in general there
will be an overall increase in the design quality of shopping centres, particularly as regards
the architecture and the materials used. The
importance of the brand mix has taken over
from the classic branch mix. Strong brands
and shop brands are much in demand
– brands which are, quite simply, the best in
their category. They are the crowd-pullers in
today’s shopping centres.
Wolfgang Richter, DI, RegioPlan:
“Famous names help
orientation.”
With respect to the tenants’ requirements
regarding area and area format, two developments can be observed. On the one hand, there is an increasing demand for larger areas, in line with the saying “competence
needs space” (e.g. in the case of fashion stores, sports retailers,
and recently also in the fields of books and media). And on the
other, retailers are tending to segment their concepts in the interests of a more precisely targeted focus on a particular group of
customers. H & M, Esprit and Abercrombie are good examples of
this trend. This leads to a larger number of stores, to more variety
– which is also welcomed by the management of the shopping
centres in question.
No uniform picture can be discerned when it comes to opportunities for specialisation. In view of very different customer attitudes,
ECE, for example, remains highly sceptical of the Entertainment
Centre model. However, this approach must be viewed quite
differently in Southern Europe and in the U.S., but especially
in locations where completely artificial worlds are created. The
clear positioning towards luxury requires very, very large centres
of population. That works well, for example, in Florida, in Los
Angeles, in Tokyo, and of late also in Moscow. The AEZ in Hamburg recently attached a “Luxury Mile” and is doing well with it.
However, this type of positioning does not function everywhere
– as other examples prove. A tried and tested method involves
positioning according to type of centre and size: e.g. neighbourhood centre, regional centre, super-regional centre. The increasing involvement of service industries (hairdressers, banks, travel
agents, advisory servies in a variety of branches) is gaining in
10 UMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
CONCEPTS AGAINST UNIFORMITY
Shopping centres are frequently criticised for
contributing in no small measure to the uniformity of today’s shopping landscape. It is a criticism which they
refuse to accept. They point out that the degree of filialisation in
the main shopping streets is considerably greater than in the consumer temples. Furthermore, fringe branches, which have disappeared from the shopping streets because of rising rents, can be
found invading the shopping centres by force in the interests of a
comprehensive range of stores. RegioPlan boss Wolfgang Richter
points out another interesting aspect of this phenomenon. “The
retail trade would not be so uniform if consumers wanted it otherwise.” He believes that the famous names help consumers when
it comes to orientation.
Architecture is increasingly becoming an instrument by which
the shopping centres determine their profile. There have recently
been a number of positive examples of this trend. For example,
the Europark in Salzburg, which was recently singled out by the
International Council of Shopping Centers for the best extension,
not least for its impressive “oval architecture”. The Murpark in
Graz and the Atrio in Villach are also currently attracting attention for their unusual architecture. The Stadion Center in Vienna,
opened on 30 August 2007, offers a unique blend of architecture
and experience (design: Dr. Christian Mikunda) as a “third place”.
One attraction is the 23-metre-high ice falls made of 2,300 blocks
of clear and cloudy ice.
A highlight of contemporary shopping-centre culture is the
Europa Passage between Mönckebergstrasse and Binnenalster

The construction of the
Schloss-Arkaden in
Braunschweig, together
with the reconstruction of
the historic castle façade,
attracted international
attention. Umdasch ShopConcept was responsible
for the shopfitting of anchor
tenants like Pohland and
Humanic in the shopping
centre.
The architecture recalls the hull of a
ship. That is not a coincidence, since
the Europa Passage in Hamburg lies
on the Binnenalster.

in Hamburg, opened in October 2006 and covering an area of
30,000 m² (The administration of the centre is in the hands of the
Allianz CenterManagement GmbH). The shopping mall is up to
25 metres high and 160 m long. Particularly noticeable are the 21
slender, parabolic arches spanning all five floors and meeting in a
glass roof. The ECE is particularly proud of the Schloss-Arkaden
in Braunschweig, opened at the end of March 2007 and one
of the most ambitious town-planning projects in Germany. The
combination of 30,000 m² of sales area on three levels with some
150 shops, service stores, cafés and restaurants as well as 1,700
parking spaces with the façade of the residence of the Dukes of

Braunschweig, originally built in 1833-1840 and demolished in
1960 but now rebuilt in meticulous detail is a unique example of
restoration. More superlatives can be expected in the “Limbecker
Platz” shopping centre in Essen; the opening at this historic location is planned for 2008/2009.
A further example of interesting architecture can be found in Sihlcity in Zürich, which also opened in March 2007. The management advertises it as the “smallest big city”. The project extends
over 40,000 m² and was built on the site of a former paper factory. The chimney was not demolished, but has become the

shopping centre landmark. “A shopping temple with built-in parking problems” commented the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in its
issue of 21. 3. 2007 in view of the 850 parking
spaces permitted by the City of Zürich. What
the effect of this shortage will be and whether
the consumers really accept the Öffis is part
of the exciting experiment. Another project
which received an award from the ICSC is
the Dundrum Centre in Dublin. Incidentally,
Umdasch Shop-Concept was responsible
for the shopfitting of a number of attractive
stores within the complex.
THE INTERNATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Las Vegas and Florida are also appearing at
top speed in Shanghai and in the United Arab
Emirates. The catchment area of the target
group here is measured not in kilometres but
in flight hours. These destinations are also
exciting trend-setters when it comes to shopping centres, which are almost always linked
to huge multifunctional projects (holiday,
entertainment, gastronomy, shopping, sport,
and increasingly also art and culture).
Dr. Stephan Mayer-Heinisch:
“There is an enormous range
when it comes to store rents. It is
important that the tenants assess
their own position correctly.”
As always, the USA are the role models when it comes to the
development of innovative retail concepts and their dramaturgical staging. As far as shopping centres are concerned, they are
no longer the top address for trend scouts. The only spectacular
malls are the ones which open about every six months around the

hundred thousand square metres of sales area are in the pipeline,
but everything will be overshadowed by the Dubailand project,
the “Middle East’s answer to Disneyland”. The model in the Visitor Centre alone is worth millions (see page 2). The projects in
planning include more than a dozen theme parks, hotels with a
capacity of 53,000 rooms and seven shopping centres, including
the gigantic Mall of Arabia. The opening is planned in phases
from 2008.
There are also exciting developments in the East, in Russia and
the former CIS states. In recent years spectacular shopping centres have opened in Hungary, the Czech Republic and especially
Poland. It is no coincidence that the Center Zlote Tarasy in Warsaw received a Global RLI Award. The shopping scene in and
around Moscow is also noteworthy. Huge investment projects are
being rushed through in the Ukraine and Kazakhstan. There are
sufficient funds available for such projects; the biggest bottleneck is shortage of expertise on the subject of shopping centres.

Klaus Striebich on the
future of shopping centres
Management contracts for 90 shopping centres, 22 more currently being built
or planned, 9,400 tenant/partners, 2,700,000 m² sales area, 10.4 billion euros turnover – those are the imposing
statistics which indicate the achievements of the ECE, part of the Otto empire. For many years the focus of the
company, founded in 1965 in Hamburg, lay in Germany; now they are also expanding rapidly abroad (the company
is currently active in 15 countries). Klaus Striebich has been the Managing Director in charge of property rental at
ECE since 2003. An energetic Swabian with a “classic ECE career profile” has extensive knowledge
of the international shopping and retail scene and is also a member of the Board of the
GCSC (German Council of Shopping Centers).
How do you see the potential in
Germany really?
To be fair, about 10 percent. Because, compared with England and other countries,
Germany has attractive and well established
town centres and district shopping centres.
“The life cycle of the concepts will
become substantially shorter.”
“In shopping
centres, the
most important
anchor is
variety.”
What is the current market share
of shopping centres in Germany,
measured against the total retail
turnover?
The current market share lies between 6
and 8 percent, based on the 360 – 380
relevant shopping centres. The figure is
relatively low compared with the rest of
Europe. In England and France, the figure lies at around 15 percent each. In the
United States it is as high as 60 percent. If
we compare ourselves with England, and
that is certainly realistic, then we have an
expansion potential of over 100 percent.
14 UMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
How is the productivity per square
metre in the shopping centres
developing in view of the stagnant
retail turnover figures and the
continuous expansion of available floor
area?
Strangely enough, the development is
positive. On the one hand, we always differ by about two to three percent from the
average retail development. And on the
other, a shopping centre mostly has good
contacts to the best store in each branch.
And then again, we can react faster than
the classic retail stores in the pedestrian
zone. There, leases generally have to be
fulfilled regardless of the success of the
enterprise. When a concept does less well
in a shopping centre, to use a euphemism,
we sit down together to analyse the reasons and agree on appropriate measures.
What does the market development in
other European countries look like?
It’s higher. In comparable West European
countries – France, England, Italy, Benelux
etc. – the density of shopping centres is
already higher than here. In Eastern Europe
the shopping centre location is extremely
important because there were previously
no comparable high-quality locations. The
shopping centres directly replace all previous locations.
Where does the ECE see the greatest
development potential for shopping
centres in Europe in the medium term?
In Germany there are about another 20 –
30 projects for us to carry out – and we’re
working on them, focusing on them. We
are very active in central Eastern Europe
and also see that as our core market. We
are already represented between Lithuania
and Turkey. At the moment we see Poland
as an excellent market with its 40 million
inhabitants and only a very low density of
shopping centres. For the past two years
we have also been active in Russian and
the Ukraine. Those are markets which will
prosper in the forseeable future.
In recent years there has been a major
trend towards inner-city shopping centres. Will this trend continue?
Definitely. There will be no change there,
because a centre also profits from an
inner-city location and the only advantage of the outskirts is that it is quick and
cheap to build there. People’s demands
as regards such factors as living – working
– leisure – shopping are definitely better
satisfied in the city centre.
How did things develop after the
opening of new inner-city shopping
centres? How has the retail scene
changed there?
It varies. Of course the central focus of
the town in question, in other words, the
customer loyalty, improved markedly. And
of course there are towns where locations
shift. Locations which are not competitive
deteriorate. I’d like to emphasise: Uncompetitive locations. Competitive locations,
however, will have been able to develop
in some cases. Braunschweig is a good
example of what I mean.

Klaus Striebich
Which trends have you observed in
recent years with regard to tenants’
requirements regarding the sales area
and the amount of space needed?
It is fairly clear: tenants today are much
more demanding. This trend is more
noticeable in Western Europe than in
the East. In Western Europe, the average store size has increased by 20 – 30
percent. Tenants today have much larger and
wider ranges of goods and present them in
more eye-catching ways.
What are the strategies and concepts
which Pohland follows when designing
its stores?
The essential, most important aspect is
that the customer should feel at home in a
Pohland store. He must sense that he will
be well looked-after. For this, the interior
design must be right; on the one hand it
must be modern, but on the other it must
also convey a sense of cosiness.
Do you not get the feeling here that in
this age of concept segmentation the
pendulum is swinging back in the other
direction, expecially in the fashion
branch, for example?
That’s a good example, and you are quite
right. That is what we like to see – and our
customers too, in fact. The real advantage
of a shopping centre or a good location is
the variety. Theoretically you could cover
all requirements with a food store, a shop
selling fashion and textiles, and an electrical goods store. The main thing is that all
ranges of goods are available in breadth.
The real talent, however, lies in the depth.
In the old days, 100 – 130 shops were the
non plus ultra in Germany. In the AEZ over
there (N.B.: Alstertal-Einkaufszentrum) there
were no fewer than 160. With the extension
we have increased the number of stores
by 50 percent and now have no fewer than
240. People have become more consumeroriented, so we have become better able to
cope. We have brought in many more extensive ranges; we can offer a large number of
mono-label stores. The customer likes that
– segmentation is very fashionable at the
moment. Hennes & Mauritz is a good example: apart from their classic store, they have
separate shops with different themes. You
can also see the same trend at Esprit and
other brands.
What are the current criteria for
success as regards the mixture of
branches and tenants, and who are the
classic anchor tenants?
SHOP aktuell 102
“Have you ever tried to find a toy shop in the pedestrian area?“
Today there aren’t really any classic anchor
tenants as such. The most important anchor
is “variety”. Anchor tenants are always
equated with large-scale retailers. In Germany the department store as such is no
longer appropriate, nor is a general store or a
self-service store. Magnets today are essentially fabric and fashion stores such as H&M,
Zara, Appelrath & Cüpper, Ansons, Pohland.
In the hardware sphere it could be the largescale retailers in the fields of books, sport
and electrical and electronic goods. Then we
can continue with the specialist stores such
as Humanic in the shoe branch. And there
are also the young, vertically-oriented fashion retailers who nowadays need store areas
of up to 2,000 m². In the food sphere people want above all fresh goods – not tins for
60 cents.
Hasn’t the branch mix developed in
general in the direction of brand mix?
Definitely. When we conduct an in-depth
study we find that brand labels are more
important than no-name shops. The classics must be there too, like Esprit, S. Oliver,
Mexx, Gant, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc O Polo
etc. This development can already be
observed in all branches.
What are the prime success factors for
shopping centres?
Location quality, accessibility, visibility, infrastructure, adequate size, variety,
brand message.
ping centres as regards tenant mix and
appearance. How do you see this?
I see it quite differently. It is a fact that the
filialisation of pedestrian areas such as
those in Cologne, Frankfurt or Düsseldorf is as high as 80 – 90 percent. In the
ECE-centres, the average rate is currently
56 percent. Then you can add approximately
25 percent regional chains and the remaining 20 percent are classic individual retailers.
So we have a level of filialisation which lies
30 percent below that of the pedestrian areas. Which is quite logical. Or have you ever
tried to find a toy shop, a photo shop or a
stationer’s in the pedestrian area? You will
be unlucky. Why? Because the landlords in
the pedestrian area say that they will let their
store to the retailer who can pay the highest
rent. And that is usually not the toy shop, but
rather the XY chain. We, on the other hand,
need the toy shop in order to be attractive
in all areas, and we are prepared to accept
the costs.
What will be the main shopping-centre
trends in the next few years?
The shopping centres will offer a wider
variety of goods. Last but not least, the
trend towards segmentation will lead to an
increased number of shop units without
going wild. The design and architecture of
the shopping centres will become more
attractive. We shall see more show and theatrical elements. The life cycle of the concepts will become substantially shorter, and
stores will change hands more frequently.

ship store in London’s Burlington Gardens. This is a mere hop,
skip and a jump from Regent Street and if you walk just a little
further you’ll find yourself at Piccadilly Circus, the geographical centre of the city. Until Abercrombie & Fitch decided that
this would be a good location for its first store outside North
America, this was a showcase for the collections of German
designer Jil Sander and was famous for its pared-down minimalist interior.
And here lies the challenge for any retailer aspiring to occupy
this 20,000 sq ft space. At first glance it would seem a smart
move to open up in an architecturally grand and imposing
space, but it also contains the seeds of a problem. If you are
a fashion retailer, just how do you make your ranges stand out
amid this kind of backdrop and how can you create an interior
that will not be overawed by its surroundings?

EVERY MAJOR PERFORMANCE REQUIRES A PRELUDE.
For anyone walking between the Ionic pillars that form the classical entrance to the Abercrombie & Fitch store, the answer would
seem to be to plunge the entire interior into darkness. This is
the first impression. There is, admittedly, a decompression zone,
a sort of precursor to the main action, which takes the form of
an antechamber before you access the shop proper. This foyer
is a twilight zone with glass cabinets filled with antique sporting
accessories including skis of the type that your grandfather might
have used to schuss down the nearest Alp.
The cabinets themselves are a mixture of lattice-work glass, set
in wood frames, and large panes of glass with something of the
museum about them. Shopfitting on this project has been carried
out by Umdasch, so you’d expect a high standard of workUMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT 17

manship and finish. You are not disappointed. High standards
prove to be a recurring theme throughout the shop.
And so on to the main event. Passing through the door frame
that separates foyer from store, the immediate sensation is of
contrast. There are jewel-like areas of light and what appear to be
zones of almost complete darkness. As the eyes become accustomed to the lighting scheme, it is apparent that this is not the
case.
THE PERFORMANCE – PRESENTED IN THE RIGHT LIGHT
Most stores work by having a set standard of ambient light and
then highlighting the merchandise, usually from overhead, using
a series of spotlights. Abercrombie & Fitch is in fact no different
from this, except that the level of ambient lighting is very much
lower than in other stores.

The other golden rule of lighting is that if you have large windows,
and this shop certainly does, you allow natural daylight to flood
the interior. Here, the store designers at Abercrombie break with
tradition. The stone window frames are clearly visible as you walk
around the interior, but they have black-out screens in front of
them, ensuring that the level of light inside the building is at the
discretion of Abercrombie & Fitch rather than the exterior environment.
contain multiple shelves. Rather than lighting these internally,
Abercrombie & Fitch has worked with Umdasch to insert microspots within the wardrobe frames, one each side of every shelf.
The effect is a series of pinpoint beams that pick up on the predominantly bright colours of the stock that is on display. The
wardrobe fixtures are also used to divide up much of the space
on the ground floor. As many of them reach up towards the first
floor, the upper shelves function more as display and forward
reserve than selling area. This has given those charged with layout the choice of natural baffles and the ability to create rooms,
fostering the sense of a series of collections.
As a result of the extreme contrast between light and dark, the
most obvious feature is the merchandise. For the most part, it is
housed in tall, slim, open-fronted dark-wood wardrobes which

series of small cupolas and these have been used as focal points
for theatre-style lighting rigs that are suspended throughout the
store at high level.
It’s also worth noting the denim shop, located directly beyond the
store entrance. Not often that denim is the forward merchandise
feature of a fashion shop, but Abercrombie uses curved glass
cabinets and a dark wall to show off its artfully arranged displays
of jeans. As everywhere else in the shop, pricing is tastefully lowkey, but this kind of luxury does not come cheap.
Shoppers reach the first floor via a sweeping stone staircase set
around an atrium. In the centre of this atrium is a black sculpture
of an athlete, striking the kind of pose that is mirrored by the turn
of the century-looking murals depicting groups of sporting young
men taking a break from physical activity.
Upstairs the story is the same as downstairs, although the bulk of

the temple of their favourite brand. At quite another, through its
deployment of carefully fashioned fixturing, it works as a voyage
of discovery where the shopper is made to feel that they have
chanced upon yet another room containing objects of desire.
There is little sense of in-store navigation about this shop – that
would defeat the purpose of low lighting and might smack of
putting customers in the position of being over-directed.
As in its American outlets, Abercrombie & Fitch has recruited a
team of unusually good-looking young men and women to act as
“models” and staff. But on balance, it need hardly have bothered.
This store interior is even more glamorous than the people who
have been employed to look pretty within it.
Abercrombie & Fitch has said that it intends to expand its overseas operations. In May, CEO Mike Jefferies commented: “We‘re
making a lot of money in London and anticipate doing that everywhere we go.” On the evidence of the London flagship, this
seems an entirely realistic prediction.

Travel Shop: Dublin airport. Retail on the move
Creating an effective shop for airport
travellers presents two major challenges
for any potential retailer.
The store fit-out has to be slick enough
to stop shoppers with only a few minutes
to spare and owing to the highly branded
nature of this form of retail, it will usually
mean higher than average deployment of
light-boxes and messaging.
For Umdasch, working on the 520 m²
travel shop at Dublin airport has meant
manufacturing, delivering and installing a
massive variety of unitry as well as working with local architects, Douglas Wallace,
to create bespoke equipment by modifying
elements from the Umdasch range.
The outcome is a shop with everything
from standard gondolas featuring integral
light-boxes, right the way through to circular and elliptical fixturing – real eye-catchers for shoppers on the move.

Putting shopfitting
to work in the
21st century
Umdasch set up a UK office in 1999 and managing director Ben Hiley has been at the helm from the outset.
Welsh and proud of it, Hiley has a family background in the retail trade, but is an engineer by training with
more than 20 years experience in the shopfitting industry. Temperamentally, this makes him well-suited to
the increasingly broad range of demands placed upon store fit-out companies. He started Umdasch UK
from humble beginnings and it now operates as an outpost of the Austrian shopfitting giant from purposebuilt offices in Oxford. Shop Aktuell talks shop to a man on a definitemission.
Why Umdasch?
One of the attractive things about Umdasch
from my point of view is that they actually
train people in the psychology of retailing.
It means the whole Austrian production process we draw on, has a logic that
underpins it.
But haven’t UK shop equipment manufacturers been under pressure?
If you look at the so-called metal-bashers
in the UK, they’ve gone. Even the small
guys no longer operate. So the traditional
suppliers of equipment that made items to
somebody’s design in the UK just aren’t
around.
“Companies are going to have
to work out how to transpose
skills into new markets.”
“In the UK, it’s
quite normal for
brands to reinvent
themselves every
couple of years.”
So where does that leave Umdasch
UK?
It isn’t just a case of manufacturing to
drawings. We have a great level of creativity in this country, but the people who serviced that creativity are no longer there. This
means that UK shopfitting is a different
industry to what it was. Umdasch is actually in a strong position to fill that gap.
Does the modern manufacturer have to
be all things to all people?
There’s a dilemma facing big manufacturers like Umdasch. Sometimes there is a
need to split into different areas in order to
concentrate on different levels of the market with different timings and pressures. If
you look at the markets that are emerging
in India for instance, they’ll want to have
20b UMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
the design input, but may not want to pay
the prices the cost of manufacturing in
Europe. So companies are going to have to
work out how to transpose skills into new
markets. Wherever you are, I see it as being
a matter of working with people who have
creativity in a market and then they can
use our knowledge of the retail industry to
make things happen. I think there will be a
lot more alliances than there have been in
the past.
Where does that mean that shopfitting
is heading?
It’s certainly going into areas of specialization. Such is the speed of retail change that
it’s very difficult to put a standard profile
on a company and stay with it for ever. A
lot of our manufacturing was built on tradition. Companies like Marks & Spencer had
a tradition of supporting British industry,
but they can no longer do that because of
price. So Umdasch has spread worldwide
in order to be able to follow brands. We
follow brands closely so that we can work
with them at a strategic level, in the UK as
much as anywhere else.
And is the UK different from continental Europe?
Yes, definitely. Traditionally, in Europe it’s
very often been the shopfitter that has
decreed what a store looks like and it’s been
based on established systems. The logic in
the UK, and increasingly worldwide, is that
retailers take a design, use it for a while and
then morph it into something else. In the
UK, it’s quite normal for brands to reinvent

don’t cope too well with that. To succeed
you have to be flexible and able to adapt
quickly – as quickly as the retailer.
There are a lot of retail designers in
the UK. What about the relationship
between shopfitter and designer?
It’s quite similar to the way that you have to
work with retailers. London has 60, maybe
even 70 per cent of the most influential
designers on the planet. So guide them,
make sure the shelf is strong and cheap
enough, but never ever, ever, try to alter
that shelf! It’s designed to look that way,
because the designer is responsible for
putting together that retail brand piece by
piece. You’ve got to work with people.
Which project are you most proud of?
“I don’t think in reality that we’ve ever done
a bad project.” That sounds fine, but strip
away the gloss and Hiley finally admits that
he as a job that he looks at fondly: “One of
my favourite projects was Best Menswear
in Ireland. It involved using virtually every
skill that Umdasch had to offer, from day
one. We sat with them, took apart their
offer, bit by bit: found out what they wanted
and we have evolved that design over six
years. So I would say the long-term relationship that we have built up with Best is
what I’m most proud of.”
So what does the future hold for retail
and Umdasch in the UK?
I think that shops are going to change.
They will become more and more places
where you go for an experience - to be truly entertained. As far as shopfitting goes,
the industry today is not the industry that I
remember when I joined. There has certainly been a shift towards smaller companies
with a high skill base that can adapt quickly.
In the UK, that’s what Umdasch does – but
with the backing of a very large company.
You can be five to ten people-strong and

still satisfy the requirements of multi-outlet
retailers. We’ve got the five manufacturing
plants in Europe that can satisfy a broad
raft of our customers, but it’s the level of
detailing that means you can walk into a
store that has been fitted by Umdasch and
recognize that there is something different.
Ultimately, if you’ve working with a retailer in a particular market, they want one
designer and one shopfitter to build it. We
see that as the future: building strategic
relationships.
– and for the simple reason, as he remarks,
that at the better end of the retail market
you need to be sure of a consistency of
retail delivery. To judge by his hit rate to
date – Umdasch UK seems adept at managing to provide this.

Polo Ralph Lauren, Bicester Village –
New England in England
The clearly structured appearance of the range and the classic shopfitting elements
result in a harmonious overall presentation.
For long associated with clean-cut New
England style, Polo Ralph Lauren shops
have about them the feel of a gentleman’s
club – the kind of place you visit after stepping off your yacht. Translating this into
retail form is never easy and the brand’s
branch at the Bicester Village outlet centre,
with fixtures and fittings by Umdasch, is no
exception.
That said, this is a shop where the
cleanness of execution and solidity of the
dark-wood perimeter wardrobes, contrasting with the plain white walls, brings to
mind an environment that has been around
far longer than the year or so that it has
been open. As a brand, Polo Ralph Lauren
exercises very tight control over the manner in which its products are displayed. The
Bicester Village shop show how this works
to advantage.
Tumi, Bicester Village – luxury in an
out-of-town environment
In 2006, Undasch was retained by
American travel goods brand Tumi to equip
a store that it had leased at Bicester Village,
an outlet centre in Oxfordshire, UK. Bicester is the UK’s most upmarket factory outlet
centre and strict conditions are placed on
the appearance of any brand or retailer that
chooses to set up shop in the scheme. For
Tumi, this meant that its 80 m² store would
have to display the same quality as any of
its high street branches with open-fronted
wooden cabinets recessed into the walls
and minimalist glass and matt-metal centre-floor fixturing.
It would be far from uncommon to find
a shop of this quality in some of Europe’s
better shopping streets. It is a mark of
the understanding that was established
between Umdasch and Tumi that it is also
found in an outlet centre.
The entire bamboo-style shopfitting system was specially designed for Tumi.
Varo, the stainless steel system by Umdasch, provides an interesting contrast
to the wood.

The Art of Presentation
Concentration, cut-throat competition and multi-channel retailing are topical subjects in the book trade.
In the German-speaking countries Thalia, Hugendubel & Co. are jostling each other for the pole position
– reflecting the competition among the publishing houses. Against this background, SHOP aktuell
interviewed three experts about trends in range and presentation. Their statements make one thing clear:
the art of presentation is much in demand in the age of Harry Potter.
The German book market is consolidating slowly. In 2006,
according to the figures compiled by the Börsenverein des deutschen Buchhandels (German Book Trade Association), a turnover of 9.3 billion euros was achieved, 1.1 % more than in 2005.
The prospects for 2007 are also good. After a drop in turnover
at the beginning of the decade, the branch achieved a small
increase for the third year running. It was the larger firms which
profited most from the improvement; small publishing compaSHOP aktuell 102
nies and bookshops continue to suffer under the merciless pressure. Among the retail outlets, the internet was the area where
the highest growth rates could be observed; here, the turnover
increased by 11 % to 703 million euros, representing 7.6 % of
the total turnover achieved with books. The main retail channel
remains the traditional bookshop, accounting for 54.3 %; here
a minimal increase in turnover was registered for the first time in
five years (by 0.3 % to 5.03 billion euros).

market share of the branch turnover must have already crossed
the 30 percent threshold. With an estimated market share of 6 – 8
percent each, Thalia (a member of the Douglas Group) and the

summit of the book trade mountain. In both camps, new acquisitions and shares are part of the daily agenda. It was Thalia which

Der Großraum Helsinki stellt die wichtigste Einzelhandelsmetropole des Landes dar. The Helsinki metropolitan area is the most important retail centre in
the country.
Finnlands Einzelhandel
im Aufwind
Geringe Bevölkerungsdichte, geografische Randlage und starke Konzentrationstendenzen prägen die
finnische Retail-Szene. Der Vergleich mit anderen Ländern lässt spannende Entwicklungen prognostizieren:
Eine stärkere Branchenspezialisierung und ein dynamisches Shopping-Center-Wachstum.
Finnland ist flächenmäßig das sechstgrößte Land Europas, mit rund
fünf Millionen Einwohnern aber auch eines der dünnbesiedeltsten.
Zwei Drittel der Bevölkerung leben in Städten. Helsinki, die
angrenzenden Kommunen Espoo und Vantaa sowie Tampere und
Turku bilden die Ballungsräume und gleichzeitig auch die Einzelhandelszentren des Landes.
Die politische Umbruchsituation in der ehemaligen Sowjetunion
führte in Finnland Anfang der 90er zu einer wirtschaftlichen
Neuorientierung. Mit „Nokia“ als Fahnenträger mutierte Finnland
zum Hochtechnologieland. Daneben entpuppte sich aber auch der
Einzelhandel als Garant für überdurchschnittliche Wachstumsraten
von mehreren Prozentpunkten (2006: 4,5 %). Die Retail-Branche
ist nach der Elektronik- sowie der Forst- und Papierindustrie der
drittstärkste Wirtschaftszweig des Landes. Auch zukünftig hofft
der finnische Einzelhandel auf Rückenwind. Für diesen Optimismus sprechen die Prognosen 2007: Finnland erwartet ein
28 UMDASCH SHOP-CONCEPT
Wirtschaftswachstum zwischen 2,5 und 3 Prozent sowie eine
Erhöhung der privaten Konsumausgaben um 2,4 Prozent.
KESKO UND S-GRUPPE DOMINIEREN DEN MARKT
Mit einem Jahresumsatz von jeweils rund 9 Milliarden Euro im
Jahr 2006 dominieren die Kesko-Gruppe und die S-Gruppe
den finnischen Einzelhandel. Kesko ist mit seinen Marken im
Lebensmittel- und Warenhaussektor, in der Möbel-, Mode,
Schuh-, Sport, Elektro-, DIY- und Automobilbranche vertreten.
Hauptkonkurrent S-Gruppe erwirtschaftet gut die Hälfte seines
Umsatzes im Food-Sektor, ist des Weiteren mit Warenhäusern,
Tankstellenshops am Markt präsent sowie in der Automobil-,
Tourismus- und Landwirtschaftsbranche tätig.

westlich von Helsinki gelegenes Shopping Center, eröffnete 2005
ebenfalls einen Zubau. Sello beheimatet heute 160 Stores und hat
sich mit einer Konzerthalle sowie einer großen Bibliothek nebenher
ein kulturelles Standbein geschaffen. Mit den Center-Ausbauten

Upswing for Finland’s
Retailers
Low population density, a geographical location on the fringes of Europe and a strong trend towards
concentration characterise the Finnish retail scene. The comparison with other countries leads us to
predict exciting developments for the future: strong branch specialisation and a dynamic growth in
the field of shopping centres.
Finland is the sixth-largest country in Europe as far as land area
is concerned, but with some five million inhabitants it is also one
of the most thinly populated. Two-thirds of the population live in
towns. Helsinki and the neighbouring urban districts of Espoo and
Vantaa along with Tampere and Turku represent the centres of
population which are also the country’s main retail centres.
S-Group. Kesko and its brands are represented in the food and
department-store sector as well as furniture, fashion, shoes, sport,
electrical goods, DIY and automobiles. Its main competitor, the
S-Group, achieves more than half its turnover in the food sector
and is also active in the sphere of department stores and petrol
station shops as well as automobiles, tourism and agriculture.
At the end of the 1980s, the political changes in the former Soviet
Union led Finland to seek a new economic orientation. With Nokia to
the fore, Finland transformed itself into a high-technology country.
At the same time, the retail trade turned out to be a guarantor of
above-average growth rates of several percent (2006: 4.5 %). After
electronics, forestry and the paper industry, the retail branch is
the third-strongest sector of the national economy. In future, too,
the Finnish retail branch is hoping that this favourable trend will
continue. Their optimism is supported by the prognoses for 2007:
Finland expects economic growth between 2.5 and 3 percent as
well as an increase in consumer spending of 2.4 percent.
Apart from retailers from the Scandinavian region, very few overseas
retail companies invest in the Finnish market. The high degree of
concentration and the location and size of the market are the main
barriers to market entry. Finnish store brands, too, mostly remain
in their own territory and are thus to be found predominantly in
Scandinavia, the Baltic region and Russia. It is clear that this does
not apply to Finnish consumer goods brands like Nokia.
KESKO AND S-GROUP DOMINATE THE MARKET
With an annual turnover of some 9 billion euros each during 2006,
the Finnish retail market is dominated by the Kesko Group and the

THE POTENTIAL OF SHOPPING CENTRES HAS NOT YET
REACHED CAPACITY
The Finns are becoming increasingly convinced of the pleasures
of strolling through a comfortably heated shopping centre when
the temperatures outside are below zero. The statistics (only
152 m² area of shopping centre per 1,000 inhabitants) indicate
that there is still plenty of potential for shopping centres. Above

all the metropolitan area around Helsinki is currently experiencing
a dynamic development boom. In 2005 Jumbo, a successful
shopping centre not far from the airport, increased its sales area
by 30,000 m² (total: 85,000 m²). Sello, a shopping centre located to
the west of Helsinki, also opened a new wing in 2005. Today Sello
runs 160 stores and has also established a second field of interest
in the field of culture with a concert hall and a large library. With their
building extensions, Jumbo and Sello are now in direct competition
with Itäkeskus, the mother of all Finnish shopping centres with a
sales area of over 100,000 m². Still not satisfied with the growth
of its nearby shopping centres, Helsinki has experienced in the
past two years the birth of the Kamppi Centre in the city centre, as
well as the Lanterna Centre, which is specialised in furniture and
furnishings.
those realised for Pukeva, Stockmann, Sokos, Aleksi13, Antilla
and Pukumies. In March 2007 Pukumies opened stores in Kotka
and Oulu, both of them planned by U4 and with shopfitting by
Umdasch. The company, which previously was predominantly
represented by stores in West Finland, thus moved into the
South for the first time with the 1,000 m² store in Kotka. The shop
convinces with its clear layout. Customers follow an elegant loop
along which the different theme and brand worlds are staged with
different colour schemes. The Umdasch systems “Arena” on the
wall and “Steco” in the centre of the store play an important role
here.
With a closely knit network of professional partners from various
disciplines, expert shopfitters Umdasch Shop-Concept are ready
to assist Finnish retailers in future.

Europe’s permanently up-to-date shopfitting fair opens
Welcome to the
Umdasch ShopShow!
Since September 2007 the newly completed information centre of the Umdasch concern with the newly
designed Umdasch ShopShow in Amstetten/ Lower Austria has been fully open to welcome visitors from
all over the world. Umdasch ShopShow, Europe’s permanently up-to-date shopfitting fair, offers over more
than 800 m² a clear overview of trends at the cutting edge in the fields of store branding and shopfitting.
In future, the attractive rooms in and around the ShopShow will also provide the setting for the Umdasch
Shop Academy seminars which will be held in Amstetten.
On the ground floor of the Umdasch Information Centre, visitors
can gain a first overview of the range of services provided by the
individual brands of the Umdasch Shopfitting Group. The group’s
international sphere of activities is summarised in the form of information columns and display boards. The ShopShow on the upper
floor is, so to speak, the brand world of Umdasch Shop-Concept.
This can be seen in the consistent branding in red and grey. The
room is divided up like a modern museum by huge screens covered
with printed plastic foil. In the individual exhibition niches collagelike selected service modules in the fields of store branding and
shopfitting are displayed.

The international brands Polo Ralph Lauren and Swatch are used

system towers. Those involved in the practical aspects of retailing
on the other hand will be interested to see the bold comparison

A PLATFORM FOR EXCHANGE OF IDEAS AMONG
PROFESSIONALS
The Umdasch ShopShow sees itself as a platform for a lively
exchange of ideas among professionals from various disciplines
who are involved in shop investment projects: retail managers,
brand experts, architects, designers, shop planners, branding specialists, marketing and advertising professionals, project executives... Within the ShopShow there is a special workshop area
reserved for customer and project meetings, where prototypes and
samples can immediately be incorporated into the meetings. As
on a stage, there will be constant changes and new additions to
the exhibition. In Spring 2008, for example, the “EuroShop at the
Umdasch ShopShow“ will be presented.
The direct practical relevance will also enhance the seminars of
the Umdasch Shop Academy, which will be held directly within
the ShopShow area. Work will take place directly on and with the
shopfitting elements especially during the events for those involved
in practical aspects of the subject – such as, for example, “Visual
Merchandising für Praktiker“ (Practical Visual Merchandising).
The basic concept for the design of the new ShopShow was

Eventmarketing nimmt eine starke Position in der Kommunikationspolitik ein und gewinnt auch im Einzelhandel an
Bedeutung. Dieses Lexikon dient als Nachschlagewerk bei
Definitionsfragen sowie als Praxisratgeber für all jene, die
mit der Planung, Organisation und Realisierung von Events
beruflich zu tun haben.
17 Autoren beleuchten die Eventbranche aus völlig unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln: Der Ausbildungs- und Weiterbildungsmarkt ist genauso ein Thema wie der strategische Planungs-/Kontrollablauf oder auch der rechtliche
Rahmen. Eine abwechslungsreiche Lektüre – durchaus
relevant für die Retail-Szene.

eine Reise durch neue und umgebaute Fashion-Stores
der Saison 2005/2006. Schauplätze sind u.a. Diesel/London, Lacoste/München, Longchamp/New York, Globetrotter/Köln.

Matthias Horx verrät seinen Lesern die wichtigsten soziokulturellen Schlüsseltrends des Jahres 2007. Zum Gusto holen, ein paar Vorhersagen des Zukunftsforschers
in aller Kürze: Indiens Kultur wird Kult in Europa. Die
neuen Billig-Convenience-Marken sind jung, cool, chic
und designerhaft.
MATTHIAS HORX
Flagship stores convey feelings of emotion, competence
and a unique lifestyle. The authentic brand identity thus
becomes tangible for customers and visitors alike. This
bilingual volume introduces and describes exceptionally successful stores, brand universes and showrooms
around the world.

ANLEITUNG ZUM ZUKUNFTSOPTIMISMUS. WARUM DIE WELT NICHT
SCHLECHTER WIRD.
Schreckensvokabeln wie „Klimakatastrophe“, „wachsende Gewaltbereitschaft“, „steigende Armut“ dominieren unseren Alltag. Trend- und Zukunftsforscher
Matthias Horx sagt dem Pessimismus nun den Kampf
an. Er räumt mit einer Reihe von Zukunftsmärchen auf
und plädiert für mehr Eigeninitiative und Selbstbestimmung.
