Our Megastores for Fanatics at eight Formula 1 events.
In 2018, after a competitive tender, we were awarded the contract to design, project-manage, produce and install the Fanatics megastores.
We installed the stores in eight countries, including the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Abu Dhabi.
The main challenge was the logistics, which was made more complex due to the event timings. As some events were a week apart, we produced two sets of retail kits that would both be on the move simultaneously with two 20-man installation crews.
We rose to the challenge, and all stores were delivered on time.

Firstly, we designed a new retail concept for the Fanatics megastores. Once the design was agreed upon, our Technical team prepared a comprehensive and detailed pack that included 2D Layouts, Elevations, and Production Drawings of all the bespoke joinery, signage and metalwork. Each megastore's size was slightly different, so we had to provide a different layouts for each event.

When the design and technical drawing pack were approved, we then started the manufacturing. An extensive order of bespoke components included metal fixtures, cabinets, counters, signage, glazing and graphics. As some events were back to back, two sets of kits were produced to ensure we could meet the extremely tight deadlines.

We had a skilled team of 20 that carried out the installations and de-rigs. Our Project Managers handled all the logistics and handed over each store on installation completion. They were also in close contact with the Fanatics management team throughout the project, providing regular updates and ensuring all key milestones were met.

Our other sporting event projects include pop-up stores at The NFL, The NBA, The European Tour, The Masters, The 6 Nations and The Laver Cup.
