EptaConcept: Crafting Tailored Retail Experiences

The Epta’s multidisciplinary team EptaConcept transforms boundless creativity into tailored retail environments. From full-store layouts and interior design to furniture, technical accessories, in-store communication, mood boards and innovative materials, the sub-brand brings every concept to life with precision and style. At the booth, the GOOD REDEFINES SMART SPACES area presents a multi-brand convenience store concept.

Good redefines, Smart Spaces

The Good redefines smart spaces area is the flagship expression of Epta’s vision for smart, compact retail spaces. As convenience stores evolve into sophisticated, tech-driven points of sale, shaped by grab-and-go meals, seamless digital payments, sustainable packaging and hyper-local offerings, refrigeration technology becomes a strategic enabler within formats under 200 sqm. It preserves freshness to extend shelf life, optimises space with vertical designs and slashes running costs through smart controls, helping retailers boost impulse sales, strengthen loyalty and remain competitive in a fast-growing segment.

Epta’s expertise in flexible, sustainable refrigeration is embodied in a wide range of Costan, Bonnet Névé and Iarp branded solutions. Spanning traditional plug-ins, remote cabinets and vending units for diverse applications, Epta’s integrated offer is showcased within this dedicated area.

Big Retail Performance, Designed for Small Spaces

Convenience stores and proximity shops attract customers with premium fresh and frozen food displays, making merchandising quality a key growth driver for the format.

To capitalise on this potential, retailers need solutions that both boost sales and reduce energy consumption, without compromising product visibility or temperature performance.

Epta’s plug-in cabinets bring retail’s highest standards into smaller spaces, combining top-tier efficiency, eye-catching design and plug-and-play simplicity to meet the specific demands of neighbourhood store formats.

Merchandising That Turns Heads and Built-in Sustainability

Epta’s convenience lineup combines high-impact head-turning merchandising with built-in sustainability for next-generation convenience formats:  

• The SV8 semi-vertical modular island cabinet from the Costan/Bonnet Névé Nordic Line, a slim, class B powerhouse for impulse-driven sales. This slimline cabinet squeezes into 1m² footprints yet offers 80% glass surface for 360° views ideal for salads, sandwiches and meal deals;
• Closing the lineup is Aida, the Costan/Bonnet Névé branded retro serve-over cabinet from the Nordic Line.  It combines cold, dry and hot elements, elevating convenience with elegant, curved aesthetics, that transform standard cabinets into focal points.

Sustainability is embedded across all models: low-GWP refrigerants, energy-efficient fans, dual air-curtains, double-glazed low-E doors. Furthermore, natural CO₂/propane circuits are paired with smart ECO modes that reduce energy consumption by 30–50%. The result is a seamless blend of eye-catching layout, smooth store operations and planet-friendly performance, turning every display into a true sales-driving showcase.
