Opening a New Optical Store? Here’s Your Display Cabinet List
How Much Do Display Cabinets Cost for a Standard Optical Store?
This is the question every new store owner asks first. Below are real-world industry price ranges by store size, based on standard commercial fit-outs.
- Under 30㎡ neighborhood shop: Total display cabinet budget runs roughly $2,100 – $3,500. The setup is simple: mostly wall cabinets + one compact island, plus basic back-room storage. Covers all essential merchandising needs.
- 60–80㎡ standard street store: Total budget $5,600 – $9,700. This is the most common configuration, with full coverage for windows, double-sided islands, a brand showcase, and optometry storage.
- 100㎡+ flagship / mall store: Budget starts at $14,000. You can go for custom shaping, zoned design themes, and premium materials throughout.
A quick note for B2B buyers: display cabinets typically make up 25–35% of your total store fit-out budget. When comparing quotes, don’t just look at the per-unit cabinet price. Factor in shipping, installation and after-sales support. Plenty of lowball quotes make their profit on hidden add-on fees later.
