- Technorama, a home appliance and electronics store in Klaipėda, Lithuania, has renovated its store to offer a more comfortable and home-like shopping experience.
- The store celebrates 25 years of operation, highlighting a three-generation customer loyalty that spans from purchasing basic appliances to the latest technology.
- Technorama emphasizes its long-term employees as its greatest asset, valuing their expertise as consultants who guide customers through evolving technology.
Klaipėda's Technorama store has unveiled a significant renovation, moving away from sterile retail standards to embrace a warm, home-like atmosphere. The updated space allows customers to interact with appliances as they would in their own homes, testing functions and visualizing how entire kitchen or home tech sets would fit. This approach caters to both quick purchases and detailed planning for larger investments.
"We wanted to thank our customers first and foremost by renovating the store," said Vitalijus Mineikis, Technorama's commercial director. "We aimed to create a modern, relaxed environment where people feel at home. Here, you can calmly examine appliances, see real solutions, and make the best decision for your home with the help of our experts."
The store, located at Taikos pr. 39, has been a fixture in Klaipėda for 25 years. Over this quarter-century, it has witnessed shifts in technology and consumer habits. The renovation marks a new phase built on a three-generation relationship with its clientele. Initially, customers bought essential appliances like washing machines and refrigerators. Now, their children return for home electronics and televisions, and grandchildren are exploring computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles.

Mineikis expressed delight in the continuity of customer relationships. "We are very pleased with the continuity we feel, when customers come and recall a washing machine they bought here a decade or more ago that served their family reliably for a long time. Now, those same people come with their children or grandchildren to choose new appliances. Such positive feedback confirms we have been moving in the right direction all these years," he stated.
Beyond the modern shelves and lighting, Mineikis identifies long-serving employees as Technorama's most valuable asset. With minimal staff turnover, many team members have been with the company for 10 to 20 years, some since the store's opening 25 years ago. This extensive experience transforms them from mere salespeople into expert consultants, knowledgeable not only about the latest innovations but also the historical evolution of technology and how past issues have been resolved in newer models.
