"The retail and wholesale industry is undergoing dramatic changes in how and where people shop," says Tony Bouquot, MBMA's general manager. "Metal building systems are flexible, efficient and cost-effective, not to mention great-looking, making them ideal choices for stores and chains that need to adapt to market changes."

Store-based retail markets include discount stores, department stores, home-goods stores, specialty stores, wholesalers and more. The Retail & Wholesale case study shows how these businesses can benefit from using metal building systems, noting the many attributes that metal buildings provide.

For example, Costco Warehouse Stores use metal building systems to keep costs down and get new stores constructed as quickly as possible. The large clear spans enable them to save construction costs as well as increase flexibility in merchandising. Further, metal building exteriors can be designed to meet local codes and company-specific designs. This is also a big plus for Drug Mart when it renovates its existing stores that are housed in metal buildings as the old exterior panels can be quickly pulled down and replaced to make the store look brand new and adapt to branding updates. Single-source design and fabrication made the process easier for Hance Construction, Inc. when it built a new addition to the Flemington Department Store in Flemington, NJ. Other businesses and stores profiled include Coburn's Inc., Cash Wise Foods, Arkansas Music Works, Gene's Gallery and Pet Food Center.

In addition to this case study, there is an array of useful information on the MBMA website (www.mbma.com). Other free case studies include Distilleries & Breweries, Recreation and Fitness buildings, Vehicle Sales & Service facilities and Metal Roofing.
