Anyone know how this is referred to in English - in the following (from a sales brochure for paints)?

Customer Advisory Island


Explanation:
Ich würde auf jeden Fall die "Insel" mit in die Übersezung nehmen.
Google findet für "shop-in-shop" und "island" mehrere Verwendungen.
Die "Insel" bezieht sich ja auf die Lage, mitten in einer anderen Umgebung ist die "Insel" gelegen.
