Hargis

Specialty Retail National & International Retailers

Hargis Engineers has invested a significant amount of energy and resources into supporting specialty retailers. We focus on cultivating individuals who get what it means to provide professional services to national retailers who are racing against the clock to capitalize on finite windows of opportunity to meet business objectives. Our team members identify the unique distinctions between our different clients, utilize past lessons learned and provide services that enhance the client’s overall store planning process. They also keep current with the latest advancements in retail design, retail trends and merchandising through technical applications (AutoCAD, MicroStation, and Revit), sustainable design applications and project approaches. This level of commitment has earned Hargis repeat requests to help develop prototype standards, as well as design ground-up, stand-alone, tenant improvements, and life style centers.
