Securing Mint Bakery at The O2 Arena with FlexiGlide Vision Guard Shutters

Mint Bakery, located in the Icon Outlet at The O2 Arena in London, is renowned for its delicious sweet treats, coffees, and fresh juices. To safeguard their store's 15-metre curved frontage in a mall accessible 24/7, Mint Bakery required a security solution that was both effective and aesthetically pleasing.

The primary challenge was to secure a 15-metre curved storefront within a bustling shopping area that remains open around the clock, while ensuring the security measures complemented the bakery's inviting appearance.
