Retail Shelving: Update the Core of Your Store

Gondola shelving units
There are three basic types of gondola shelving fixtures in supermarkets and convenience stores:

Freestanding “gondola” units
Wall-mounted fixtures
Gondola endcaps

Retail shelving is the heart of any grocery store and convenience store, but these fundamental store fixtures are often taken for granted. Customers interact with store shelving dozens of times in an average visit–it’s where the visual merchandising rubber meets the road. Both the type of shelving fixtures and their placement have an enormous impact on the experience shoppers have, though much of it is unconscious. Your store’s shelving units deserve an in-depth look before you design, fabricate, or purchase them from a vendor.
