Ever wonder why S&R’s fast-food restaurant is located near the exit? Why, in order to access it, you have to go through the middle of the store first?

And do you think that it’s a coincidence why S&R just decided to sell really good food at relatively cheap prices?

In this video, I talk about the science behind the store layout of S&R, and how every little detail in their stores is designed to psychologically get people to spend more every time they visit.

I’ll also be covering how S&R was founded by a US-based company, the story behind its name, and why Puregold acquired it for over 16.5 billion pesos.

If you want to skip to certain parts, the timestamps are in the description.
