Moving to a multi-store look

I'm not sure if this is a best practice question or a web site question but I'll post it here. We are in the process of changing from a single store look to multi-store look. Maybe something like you see here:

(This isn't the best example because it includes financial information whereas we are only interested in sales)

Does anyone have examples they could point us to of Netsuite web stores that are done like this. We are looking for some good ideas to help get us started. We want to have a common theme, look, and feel between "stores" however, we want each one to be distinguishable from the other. Also, we want the "stores" to easily link to each other. Having a single checkout is fine - actually preferred.
