Retail Store Layout Audit Checklist

Retail Store Layout Audit Checklist

This checklist is the same store layout audit process I use before creating planograms or redesigning a retail space.

It’s designed to help you quickly identify customer flow issues, visibility gaps, and missed sales opportunities before making changes to shelves or products.

Most stores don’t need more SKUs — they need better layout logic. This audit helps you see what’s actually holding your store back.

What’s included

• 8-page PDF checklist
• Entry & customer flow evaluation
• Category zoning review
• Shelf & product visibility checks
• Impulse and checkout assessment
• Common retail layout red flags
• Clear next steps after completing the audit

Who this is for

• Small retail store owners
• Convenience stores
• Specialty shops
• New or existing stores planning layout improvements

How to use it

Walk your store with this checklist and answer each section honestly.

Most audits take 30–45 minutes to complete.

The goal is clarity — so you know what to fix before investing time or money into layout changes.

Important note

This is a self-guided audit tool, not a custom store layout or planogram.

If you’d like this audit applied directly to your specific store, custom layouts and planograms are available separately.
