# IMAGINIF — Lucan, AI retail design adviser

> Bring your shop idea to life with Lucan. IMAGINIF helps shop owners and people developing a new retail concept explore identity, facade, layout, merchandising and customer experience through a creative conversation.

Lucan is IMAGINIF’s AI retail design adviser and fictional AI character. The retail service connects specialist retail thinking with a guided conversation about the visitor’s shop, ideas and photos. Founded by JP Bobbaers in 1989, IMAGINIF’s retail portfolio includes 500+ stores designed and built and 1,000+ international rollouts. Lucan draws on IMAGINIF’s accumulated retail expertise and documented design methods.

The approach follows four connected parts of the shopping journey: THERE (get discovered), IN (make entering inviting), BUY (help people choose) and BACK (make returning worthwhile). Visitors can start with their own question and speak in their own language.
