("under renewal process" vs, say "undergoing a renewal process" is a little awkward but is OK for headline/sign usage where auxiliary words are often omitted.) | |

I would agree that it is not a common idiom, but I see nothing wrong with it, and there are some examples of it - which you will find if you Google under process. | |

| Apr 11, 2016 at 7:41 | comment | added | WS2 | Except that your sentence would need an indefinite article, so that it became ...undergoing a renewal process. Or better still would be Our shop is currently undergoing renewal. Renewal by itself is not a countable noun, so would not require an article, whilst process is countable. | |
