"We've collaborated with 3Dots Design on three different projects, and they’ve been worth every penny. They’re incredibly easy to work with, and their expertise in the running specialty industry is truly invaluable. Whether it’s making simple adjustments to improve traffic flow, providing cost-effective merchandising solutions, or creating detailed construction drawings that minimize or even eliminate the need for an architect, their range of skills is impressive. Plus, they’re relaxed, friendly, and fun to work with, which helps keep stress levels low. Highly recommend!"

"I’m good at running my shop, but I know my limits. When I decided to open our 4th store I knew I had a great location but I wanted this one to be an improved version of what the other 3 locations look like. The team at 3 Dots Design was great to work with. They are the pros in design and laying out the store and they allowed us to continue to focus on being the local pros at serving our customers a great experience once they’re in store. Our store looks fresh and new compared to other new retail experiences we see. Thank you to 3 Dots Design for doing such a great job in making our store more successful than we forecast."

"We recently worked with 3 Dots Design on three separate stores, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Each store had its own unique vibe, but 3 Dots Design managed to create a cohesive theme that tied them all together beautifully. Their ability to understand the Pace Yourself Run Company vision and translate it into distinct yet connected designs for each location was truly impressive. The creativity and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of their work. They tailored each design to reflect the personality of each stores location, while still maintaining a harmonious flow across all three. Throughout the process, communication was excellent, and they were receptive to feedback, ensuring that the final results were exactly what we envisioned. If you're looking for a design team that can deliver a unified brand identity while celebrating the uniqueness of each space, 3 Dots Design is the way to go. We highly recommend them!"

"Our apparel sales are up 18% over LY in a flat and highly competitive market. The remodel has allowed us to elevate our apparel assortment for 2025 and to bring in brands who previously wouldn’t even consider working with us. As an owner, I like the fact that apparel can be shopped much easier now, as we have not increased units by much. It's selling better because the apparel isn't crammed on old round racks and straight arms/waterfalls on dated slat-wall. In other words, I haven't bought a ton more units, but still turned in double digit increases in apparel. This was a main goal for us. Even a year later we are still getting the "WOW'' reactions from customers who haven't visited in a year or so."

"We have worked with 3 Dots Design on 3 full store design or remodel projects and working with them has always taken an incredible amount of stress off of my plate. They have excellent, reliable relationships with many vendors we have used in our projects, that saved us money, time and many headaches along the way. Our stores have turned out beautiful and modern looking and we would happily recommend them to anybody who is looking to update their retail environment or create an inspiring new store. "
