The cash register needs to be located near the entry as well. Customers need to enter on Snelling and / or Larpenteur ; we assume sidewalks, lighting, etc. will be provided from the parking to the entry in order for customers of feel safe. The back retail entrances should be locked /alarmed and used only as a service entrance. Lighting is a very inexpensive method for providing security -especially after business hours. If possible, provide a single row of lighting along retail display windows on a separate switch. Leaving this row of lighting on after-hours gives the illusion of "the store is open" and provides additional lighting on the sidewalk and streetscape for a feeling of safety.
