Nowadays shopping center change. Starting from the localization up to the stores and services offered. More and more shopping center are located in the center of a city with a variety of different shops, the focus is no more on a hypermarket as main tenant. And also the kind of services one can find in a mall a differing. 

The focus on offered services is not only in the area of finding tenants which can offer different services starting on banking, dry cleaning, massages or even dentists. But the shopping center itself offers more often added services to keep the satisfaction of the costumers up.

Charging stations for mobile phones, access to wifi, virtual shopping guides and store finders – are just some of the added services offered in some centers. Also cloakrooms are always an added service, especially required by the customers in the winter season. Therefore the automated cloakrooms by loopstore are an easy solution for the whole year. Not only can they be used in the winter, but because of their lockers space one can use them to hang jackets or lay down bags.

An research was made for Evigo company by Sana Consulting to check the quality of consumer experience in chosen shopping centers in Poland and then compared to some European and world shopping centers. The publications in the Shopping Center magazine showed the following:

Nearly each public place – shopping center, administration office, school etc. has a problem with cloakrooms- the lack of it or with the handling.

There is no good space to put it- in the corridor or maybe in a special room? Normally this space could be better used then for a cloakroom. Therefore many institutions decide against a full year cloakroom and have to struggle during the winter time with a seasonal solution.

But what about all the small places with no use like under a staircase or a room to slim to be used? In each building there are such spaces which are hard to adapt. Those spots are ideal for a cloakroom with hangers or hooks. This kind of cloakrooms can be built into a space, using its entire high, width and length. The operation can be manual, half automated or fully automated – with or without the help of a cloak- attendant. It can be used all year long or only to special occasions. Easy handling and maintenance as well as short operational time- worth it’s money.
