Nike - Flagship factory store

Swapping the old for the very new: Nike’s flagship Amsterdam factory store

Turning an old warehouse in the suburbs of Amsterdam into a flagship factory store for one of the world’s largest retailers is one of the biggest challenges Triplar’s display team has ever faced.

Close to Nike’s European headquarters, the 1300 sq m building was transformed in only seven days.  

Doubling their efforts, Triplar increased their usual seven-strong display team to complete the fit-out. As the lead contractor on site, Triplar also had the duty of supervising all electrical, graphics and flooring work.

Triplar, who have fitted out Nike factory stores for more than 10 years, fitted back of store racking and a ‘go-back room’, alongside the main retail space. The ‘go-back room’, complete with rails and a bench with a folding top designed to increase the room’s storage area, is the first of its kind in Nike’s European stores.

Other one-off features pioneered for the store included a bespoke iMac stand, which allows visitors to log on to the Nike Store online, along with a six metre long multi-level mannequin platform– both of which were designed, constructed and fitted by Triplar.

Tim Rodwell, director of Triplar said: “It was fantastic to work on such a large-scale, flagship factory store for Nike. The custom components and tight timescale, as well as our overall responsibility for the site and all contractors, meant this project was logistically challenging.

“Even though Triplar have fitted out Nike factory stores throughout Europe, we have never completed a store of this size in such a tight time frame.

“We introduced certain elements that were completely new in our work with Nike. The go-back room – which allows staff to process unwanted goods from the changing room before re-stocking the shop floor – had to be carefully engineered to meet its intended purpose.”
