I am a firm believer in the fact that memorable shops will help repeat business. People are impressed by the look and feel of things in the game and if you have good merchandise and a good decor I think you will get more repeat business than just good merchandise. Thats just my personal opinion. That being the case lets see some examples of well decorated shops around the universe:

Dunno.. I operate out of a mall mainly, cause I know my business is good but nothing beats being in the middle of a mass flow of customers.. impulse purchases and all...


Though I haven't seen many malls as nice as the Kwik-E-Mart in Springfield on Naboo, on Infinity.

Here's some shots of inside my Adventurer Mart:



These are my 3 Weapon vendors. With a display wall of various rare weapons, and some chests behind them.




This is a wide shot of the rest of the shop. The weapon vendors are to the left, out of the shot.




A close-up of the vendors at the back.




The Lounge Area next to the above vendors.




And finally, two different angles of my mad scientist lab, where I create my weapons of mass destruction.

Grrr...this is a pain in the butt trying to get these links to work.

I'm actually a little hesitant in posting this because there are a lot of very talented decorators in the game ... but I'm not one of them So please keep that in mind when reviewing this.

The ))SUN(( Centre is the name of my shop. The whole concept centred around a mini-mall using a Style 2, Plan 2 Medium House with each vendor driving the theme . I used this particular house because I prefered the layout.

Welcome to the ))SUN(( Centre!

The View when you first walk in
The house on the right is my store. The house on the left is my workshop that I also use as storage. I purposely placed them in right angles of each other so I can use the 2nd house to advertise.

Shop Entrance Signage
I created a coloured logo for the name of my shop which I actually use for all my structures from Factories to Harvesters.

The View when you first walk in
When you virst walk in, you're greeted by the Medical Vendors.

Full view of the first room
Snapshot of the entire first room. The idea was to create a mini-mall with each vendor representing a theme. Medical Vendors (nursing theme), PowerUps Vendor (warrior theme), Vehicles and Tools Vendor (Mr. Fix It theme) and then Furniture and Structures (professional / showroom theme).

Meet T’Aja
With each vendor, I attempted to establish a personality that reflected the types of products they were selling. T'Aja is friendly and cheeky.

View of the Medical Vendors theme
Closer look at the Medical Vendors. The attempt was to give a walk-in clinic type of feel.

Meet Kaacha
This is Kaacha and he's a rough and tumble type of guy ...er, wook. He'll juice up your weapons and keep them repaired. Although, I'd recommend not commenting on his loin cloth - unless you actually do want your arms detached from your body.

Meet Yazzi
Yazzi. Think used-car sales man meets Mr. Fix It ... with a speech impediment.

Enter the Furniture Showroom and meet the Vendors ready to sell
Enter the next (second) room and you're greeted by the Furniture and Structures vendors. Both are formally dressed to reflect a more business / sales atmosphere complete with sales terminals. The theme is Furniture Showroom.

Full view of the first showroom
All furniture is named and categorized in four different series. This particular furniture is the "Majestic Pearl" line. Mostly everything you see can be purchased from the vendor ... including the fish

Third room continues the showroom with more furniture
The next and final room is a continuation of the furniture showroom featuring the "Endorian Oak" and "Vintage" furniture lines.

Another view of the Showroom


And thats my shop. Sure hope the links work and thanks.
