Store and Shop Fit-Out Contractors in Toronto.
Your lease has a date on it. As your storefront contractor, we take your floor plan and your fixture drawings and open the doors on that date, with one point of contact managing design coordination, trades, permits and finishing.
What that covers:
- Turnkey store fit-out, from design coordination through construction, permitting, inspections and finishing.
- Shop fit-out built around customer flow and how your merchandise is displayed, with display fixtures, shelving and counters made in-house.
- Storefront work: entrances, glazing, signage permits and the exterior a shopper sees first.
A standard fit-out for a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot retail space generally falls between $150,000 and $400,000, and it is scoped and priced line by line in your quote.
KOTN Ossington
KOTN hired us in early October for a December 1 opening. We handed over the finished 3,500 square foot flagship on Ossington by the end of November, and have since built KOTN's Montreal and Yorkdale stores.
