Find the right retail space. Decide what area of town in which to open your store. Know the customer you're aiming for and let that guide you on what area to choose. Make sure that you can easily get to the space on a regular basis, since you might need to make frequent stops to check on things with a contractor or to be available for a shipment to arrive.

Decide on a concept for your store. Think of the kind of environment in which your client would want to shop. If you're going for a family-friendly feel, think of warm, inviting colors and a relaxed setting. If you're catering to young professionals, create an atmosphere that is in sync with other places they shop.

Hire a contractor who understands your vision. Depending on how much work the space needs, you most likely will have to hire a contractor to do interior work to get the space to look the way you want it to. Be direct and open with the contractor on your ideas and what you want the space to become. Use pictures to show him the direction you're moving in and be sure you are on the same page regarding time commitment and the quality of work expected.

Choose fixtures and displays that mesh with the store's concept. Keep everything, from fitting rooms to displays, consistent with the general theme and concept of the store. Amenities including ample seating areas and large fitting rooms add an extra touch that can keep customers coming back for a unique shopping experience.

Add finishing touches. Just like fixtures and displays should fit the store's concept, so should shopping bags and handouts or promotional material for the store. Get the word out about your store by providing stellar customer service (which will translate to word-of-mouth advertising) and taking out ad space in local newspapers or magazines that circulate in the store's immediate area. Keep the vibe of these ads is in conjunction with your concept, and speak to your clients to welcome them to your jeans store.
