With a store revenue as high as £1 million per week, Sainsbury's simply can't afford to turn customers away.

When decorative refurbishment needs to be completed, the emphasis is on finding access solutions that will allow the stores to stay open. Recently, Sainsbury's contracted Robinsons to refresh an underground car park in one of its south London locations. Research highlighted that female shoppers felt vulnerable in the car park and were intimidated by the dark style of decor. Our challenge was to redecorate all areas in a more approachable fashion without closing the store. This required us to work alongside a continual stream of vehicles and people whilst employing mobile access equipment that would respect the flow of traffic. Specially developed ICI Dulux Trade Dry Fall™ Eggshell paint was used along with the latest airspray techniques to ensure both man and machine were left untouched throughout the duration of the project. Our work with ICI Dry Fall™ was so successful, Sainsbury's decided to extend its application to many of the remaining car parks, and internal sales floor ceilings of the stores.
