The Bazaar of Isfahan: Retail Format

Isfahan – The Capital of Persia falls on the silk route. The market is buzzing with people and
money gets exchanged for goods every moment, every second. The Prince of Persia and the
future Mughal emperor needs your help to bring order to this chaos which will help his
masses sell more goods to the traders. The best man will be rewarded with fame, money and
all the heavenly comforts. Do you think you can take up the challenge?

They say, “A well-planned retail store layout allows a retailer to maximize the sales for each
square foot of the allocated selling space within the store”.

In this event, you have the freedom to plan the layout of a store given to you based on your
ideas about the products, consumer buying patterns, etc. The best layout wins!
