Partnership between Top Chef Canada winner Chef René Rodriguez, Boys and Girls Clubs, and Future Shop creates the perfect recipe to draw out crowds and spark interest in new Cornwall store
CORNWALL, ON, Nov. 25, 2014 /CNW/ - Future Shop, Canada's leading retail destination for consumer electronics and lifestyle goods, introduced its 'small concept' Cornwall store in a big way with a two-day grand opening weekend. Excited crowds gathered outside the 8,000 sq. ft. Future Shop store, eager to experience the 'retail reimagining' of a large-format store packed into a remarkably smaller space.
To celebrate the grand opening festivities of the Cornwall Future Shop in a comparably unique way, customers receive catered culinary treats prepared by Food Network Canada's Top Chef Canada Season Four winner Chef René Rodriguez, prepared right from a Future Shop-branded food truck. Customers were treated in a different manner entirely upon entering the store, having received a selection of gift cards to whet their shopping appetites.
Featuring a dramatic interior that features a glass wall dividing the warehouse and shopping space, the Cornwall Future Shop is a stunning achievement in store design. Built to evolve with ecommerce innovations and to exceed customer expectations, the Cornwall Future Shop is proving to be a hit with the community with its approachable and intuitive layout.
