Convenience Store Shelf & Shelves

Convenience store shelving can help you compete with larger stores by making ordinary items look extraordinary. Something as simple as adding end caps to the ends of aisles and adjusting shelf depth to put better light on merchandise at the bottom can make the difference between selling and not selling. When people walk into your convenience store thinking they are going to see the same old things as always, they will be surprised in a good way to see a more professional and balanced presentation.

Before you go out and buy gondola retail aisle and wall shelves for your convenience store, you should do some planning first. Because you are working with limited floor space, the key to doing this right is quality, not quantity. Walls in your convenience store are the first place you should consider adding one or more shelves. Moving the lotto stand or the ATM machine over just a bit may make room for one or two single-sided displays that can add 20-30% more shelf space to your convenience store.

You can also use used convenience store shelving as a tool of loss prevention. We recommend using double-sided shelves (the type that form your central aisles) that are no more than 72” in height. Larger stores can use shelves as high as 84”, but this is not advisable in a small building. You want something short enough that the security mirror, the camera, and the front desk clerk can see over at all times. While this may seem limiting, it really isn’t. Each shelf can hold 350 pounds in weight, and each shelf can be adjusted from a depth of 12” to 22”

The adjustability of gondola store shelf depth is one of the most valuable features our display units offer to small store owners. When all the shelves are the same depth, light gets blocked by the upper shelves and items near the floor get obscured by shadows. If you vary depth, however, you create a very smooth, even distribution of light. Convenience store shelving by Easy Rack is very easy to adjust in this fashion. You can also create more space between aisle shelves themselves, so if you want to sell very large items such as food or drink by the case, auto supplies by the box, or seasonal gift items, you can arrange your display any way you like and make your small corner store look the best on the block.

As far as attractiveness goes, our gondola store shelves are possibly the best on the market. Choose from any number of colors including white, almond, black, caramel, beige, and off white.
