A retail building has to do two jobs. It has to look good to customers, and it has to be affordable enough that the numbers work. Steel buildings do both, and they can go up faster than traditional construction. 

Why Retailers Choose Steel

• Open interior. An I-beam frame gives you a wide-open floor, so you can lay out displays, aisles, and checkout however you want, and change it later.
• Flexible look. Steel buildings can be finished with different panel styles, colors, trim, and storefront options, so they don't have to look like a warehouse.
• Faster to build. Components arrive ready to bolt together, which helps you get open sooner.
• Built for your area. Every Duro Beam building is engineered to meet the code where it's being delivered.

Great Fits for Steel

• Showrooms and dealerships
• Hardware, farm supply, and specialty stores
• Garden centers and nurseries
• Combined retail and warehouse space

Think About Storage Too

Many retail businesses need back-of-house space for inventory. An I-beam building can combine a customer-facing front with a storage or loading area behind it, all under one roof.

Doors and Entrances

Customer entrances, loading doors, and overhead doors all affect your layout. Duro Doors offers roll-up and sectional doors sized to match your building, so it's easy to plan them in from the start. Opening a retail location? Request pricing and we'll help you size a building around your business.
