01 Project Brief

Bring Frictionless Retail Into the Members’ Reserve

Following the introduction of frictionless retail at the MCG, MCC Express brought the format into the Members’ Reserve. The project focused on creating a fast, intuitive retail experience designed around the rhythms of event day and the expectations of MCC Members.

Speed is particularly important within a stadium environment, where purchasing happens within short windows around play. The store needed to make entry, product selection and exit feel immediate, with the technology integrated naturally into the experience.

02 Our Approach

Design Around a Faster Purchase Journey

Greater Group developed the environment around a simplified customer journey, allowing Members to enter, select what they need and continue back to the event with minimal interruption. Planning, product visibility and circulation were coordinated around this movement, creating an environment that remains easy to understand during periods of concentrated demand.

The visual language was developed specifically for the MCC setting, giving the format a stronger connection to the Members’ Reserve. Branding, graphics, materials and fixtures bring the MCC identity into the space while supporting the operational and technology requirements behind frictionless retail.

03 Project Outcome

A Faster Way to Shop on Event Day

MCC Express extends frictionless retail into the member experience at the MCG, providing a convenient retail format designed for the short, high-volume trading periods created by major sporting events.

The project builds on the operational thinking established through MCG Express and applies it within an MCC-specific environment, expanding the role of frictionless retail across the stadium and giving Members a quicker way to purchase during event day.
