When Ben’s Cookies, renowned globally for their irresistible freshly baked treats, needed a new retail space at the bustling Westfield Stratford in London, they turned to OLLYWOOD for our award-winning design and build expertise.

Challenges

One of the key challenges of the project was incorporating the robust kitchen infrastructure needed to bake fresh cookies all day, without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the space. The oven itself, a massive and complex piece of equipment, was a major challenge—requiring precision logistics and some serious heavy lifting to get into place.

Another priority was to create a welcoming, yet highly functional space that would enhance the customer experience, reflecting the brand’s charm while efficiently managing the heavy foot traffic of a popular location like Westfield Stratford.

Our Approach

At OLLYWOOD, we pride ourselves on combining innovative design with practical solutions. For Ben’s Cookies, we worked closely with their team to understand their unique requirements, blending brand identity with functionality. Our approach focused on:

  1. Designing a Customer-Friendly Space: We created an open, inviting space where the aroma of freshly baked cookies could attract shoppers from afar, enhancing the sensory experience.
  2. Smart Space Utilization: We optimized every inch of the space, ensuring smooth customer flow and efficient operations behind the counter.
  3. Precision Construction: From flooring to custom-built counters, each element was crafted with precision to meet Ben’s high standards while handling the rigours of daily baking.
  4. Heavy Lifting, Literally: Installing the heavy industrial oven was no small feat. With expert coordination and teamwork, we maneuvered it into position safely and securely.

Results

The end result is a vibrant, functional space that perfectly represents Ben’s Cookies’ ethos of simplicity and quality. Our work at Westfield Stratford has enhanced the customer experience, offering an inviting environment where the smell of freshly baked cookies entices passersby, and the design ensures smooth operations during peak hours.

Client Feedback:
“OLLYWOOD’s attention to detail and professional approach made this project seamless. The final result is exactly what we envisioned—a space that draws in customers with both its design and the irresistible smell of freshly baked cookies.”
