Coop City
Nobody likes to spend time in cramped and chaotic locker rooms. If it also takes a considerable amount of time to walk from the locker rooms to the workplace, this can negatively affect employee satisfaction. A branch of Coop City also struggled with these problems. Thanks to the purchase of Zippsafe, everything was resolved at once, along with additional benefits achieved.
What challenges did Coop City face?
As part of a comprehensive renovation of its historic building in a prime Geneva city-center location, the department store needed to relocate its employee locker rooms. The previous changing area was situated on the 3rd basement level, resulting in inefficiently long walking distances to the sales floor. Moving the locker rooms to the 2nd floor drastically reduced transit times for employees. However, the new space was far too small to accommodate traditional metal lockers for all 140 staff members. Additionally, the reclaimed basement area was earmarked for much-needed stockroom storage.
Why did they choose Zippsafe?
Market research revealed that no conventional locker system could deliver the required capacity within the limited footprint. Zippsafe stood out as the only solution capable of saving up to 70% of floor space while tripling locker capacity. In an expensive urban location where every square meter counts, Zippsafe provided an extraordinarily space-efficient approach that saved both physical area and substantial real estate costs.
What makes the Zippsafe installation perfect for this customer?
By installing 10 ZippSpace Regular systems (six in the women’s and four in the men’s locker room), Coop City successfully provided a dedicated changing space for all 140 employees.
Staff members enjoy functional details including pull-out hangers, interior pockets, and integrated shoe compartments that keep the bright new 2nd-floor changing area clean and organized. The solution proved so successful that Coop immediately placed a follow-up order for another department store branch in Geneva.
