Oxford Street Refitted

Share

The Oxford Street Samsung Experience Store was closed for refit for a couple of months.

Being one of our flagship stores, it was felt we needed to freshen it up with a new design. More digital screens, more room for accessories and ecosystem products but most importantly a better environment for our customers to experience the Samsung devices they know and love and are yet to know.

Samsung - Oxford Street Refit

While the store was closed our amazing colleagues traded multiple different sites, including a pop up in Westfield Whitecity, demonstrating the new galaxy flip, fold and watches, Stratford Samsung Experience Store, and a new concept of a shop in shop in the Oxford Street Jessops, where our colleagues would take customers who had arrived at our closed store just down the street to experience the Samsung brand in a temporary location. This generated great additional footfall for Jessops while keeping our customers engaged.

The refit was delivered directly by Samsung and their partners, with Partner Retail Services working collaboratively on the planning and fitting out. A couple of new additions to the store to shout about are a wider and more shoppable accessory range and for the first time in Samsung Experience Stores UK Oxford Street now has a range of Samsung monitors on display from the new M8 to the G series gaming monitors.

Miles Beer, General Manager for Oxford Street said:

“Very proud to have cut the ribbon this morning to mark the Grand opening of the Samsung Experience Store at 125 Oxford Street.Partner Retail Services (PRS&) Samsung continues to push forward, investing in their bricks & mortar business; creating world class environments for customers and colleagues to enjoy.”

On the first week of trade after reopening customers were loving their new store layout!

Let's learn about Ben's journey!
On my first day, I remember being in a bit of bewilderment. I had been working at Curry's on the Knowhow desk for a while, feeling stuck and demotivated. Walking into the Samsung store felt like a fresh start and the start to something I didn't quite understand yet. 
 I was originally hired to be a L1 colleague who would also be trained in L2, however it came clear after my first couple of shifts that the full time L2 role was the fit for me. I loved the repair process learned under Ryan the other L2 instore. I don't think I would have picked it up as quick without him. 
 
My first 3years was spent in Leicester, using every opportunity to learn and become better. I ended up supporting other stores and service leadership to help with content creation. Everything I learnt I put back into making the repair centre in Leicester better. An opportunity came up to support with Stratford's NSO and i ended up in London delivering training I had written. Just before Covid I was involved with Bristol's opening. Once restrictions started to ease I was shipped to Bristol to support with the store opening and keep the repair centre operating during a weird time. 
 
When the role for Service and Solutions executive came up, I was immediately throwing my hat in . The work I had put in, the lessons I had learnt and the experience helped me show my ability to do the role on offer. 
 
Last couple of years have had a huge focus for me on training. I've developed in person L1 training, worked alongside the Solutions team to develop and deliver on the L1 Learning Journey E-Learning and agree process to RA with the team at Samsung. Developed the L2 training, delivering and coaching to get colleagues signed off. It feels crazy to me to know so many colleagues will have interacted with training I have developed. Training is always developing
 It helps getting to meet and interact with nearly every member in the business in one way or another. Its one of the things I love, I know if I need support I am confident they will do what they can to help. 
I am excited for what comes next
