Who we are

Built on Experience. Designed for Performance.

The Shop Standard was founded on the belief that retail presentation should feel as refined as the products themselves. With a background rooted in luxury retail and private club merchandising, we bring structure, purpose, and creativity to every space we design.

Our work blends design discipline with buying strategy to create environments that connect visually and perform operationally. Each project is guided by clarity, intention, and the goal of helping retail teams express their brand identity through elevated presentation.

Megan Bickel

Founder & Principal

Before launching The Shop Standard, Megan built her foundation in high-end retail and luxury brand environments, where she refined her eye for presentation, client experience, and product storytelling. That expertise later translated seamlessly into the private club world, where she has led retail management and merchandising programs with the same focus on quality and detail.

Her work spans golf and resort shops to lifestyle boutiques, helping teams elevate their brand story through thoughtful buying, visual planning, and retail operations strategy.

Our Approach

Purposeful Design

Every retail space begins with intention. We plan layouts, fixtures, and displays that balance form and function, ensuring every product story has a clear focal point and purpose. Design is not just decoration; it is the foundation of how your shop communicates and sells.

Refined Execution

Details define perception. From color balance to folding standards, we manage presentation with precision and care. A well-executed display enhances the shopping experience and strengthens how your brand is seen and remembered.

Collaborative Process

We believe that great results are built together. Each project is approached as a partnership, combining our expertise with your goals and insight. The result is a cohesive merchandising strategy that feels authentic to your brand and team.

Every great retail space begins with intention. Let’s bring yours to life.
