Retail space planning describes several aspects of retail operations including the following:

• The location of products, placement of adjacencies, and/or departmentalization of categories
• The sales and inventory productivity of individual departments and the analysis of the distribution of space allotted to particular categories in relationship to their productivity and their inventory balances
• Literal fixture layout, design and placement

Consequently, the process of deciding how retail space and product can be most efficiently and effectively used can be complicated, as there are several factors to consider like operational and aesthetic requirements or financial limitations. Operational decisions such as fixture layout, moving walls, store design, product placement, product mix, location of QSR, restrooms and entry ways all impact space planning.
