Small Business Shops — A storefront and a shop under one roof

Small trades — cabinet makers, small engine repair, welding, detailing — usually need three things in one envelope: a work floor, a customer-facing corner, and secure storage. A steel shell divides cleanly into all three.

What to think about before you order

If customers will come to you, plan the entry, parking side and signage wall at design time. A man door with a small conditioned office partitioned off the front corner covers most of what a walk-in trade actually needs.

Common uses

  • Trade shops
  • Repair businesses
  • Light manufacturing
  • Service businesses with walk-in customers

Recommended profiles

These are the models that suit small business shops best. The right one depends mostly on whether you need usable wall height or the lowest cost per square foot.
