Grocery & Convenience Store Shelves

You only need two basic types of grocery store shelving to upgrade your displays.
Creating more aisles space is simpler and more efficient when you use display units that are compact and adjustable. Double-sided grocery store shelving lets you do this. Measuring only 48” across, these units snap together and lock, creating an aisle of any length that runs vertically or horizontally through your grocery store. You can buy taller shelving for groceries, and then buy smaller shelves that can be arranged perpendicular to the main aisles where seasonal products, pharmaceuticals, and magazines can be displayed.

These grocery store shelves are adjustable, and they allow you to store more products on displays that may be shorter in height, but offer more total cubic space and weight capacity.
You see, each shelf can hold 350 pounds and can be moved to any position on the top, middle, or bottom of the rack. This lets you put larger, more expensive items at eye level to catch the attention of shoppers. To overcome the tendency of top shelves to block light from items at the bottom of the rack, you can vary the depth of each storage shelf as well. This allows for evenly distributed illumination to reach all product labels and show them in full color without any dark spots obscuring their legibility.

No doubt you also have some gaps in your wall displays that other grocery store shelving you have considered is too large to fit. This results in wasted space that could be used to showcase valuable merchandise. The importance of making the most of every square inch of wall space is very significant to grocer’s who own small, neighborhood food stores. Any wasted area can be a missed opportunity for a sale.

You can overcome this will single-sided grocery store shelves that can be fit into pesky corners that are gathering dust, or squeezed between the space between refrigerator units and side doors. This is because our wall shelves are much smaller than those of many of our competitors. Like their double-sided equivalents, they only measure 45” across and are very lightweight when empty. It takes only minutes to slide them into a new spot to run a special or put up special Christmas items for holiday sales.

Because each shelf can support 350 pounds of weight and can be moved to any vertical position within the display, heavier items can be safely moved to the top where they have a better chance of catching a shopper’s attention. Also, being able to vary the depth of these commercial shelves adds even more power to the presentation, because by varying shelf depth one can see to it that every row of products gets an equal amount of light without any shadows obscuring labels, prices, or colors. An added benefit these units give you is the ability to save money on standard end cap displays. You can simply buy a few extra, used single-sided grocery store shelving displays and place them at the end of the aisles. Many different colors such as almond, gray, white, and beige can be purchased from Easy Rack to instantly grab the attention of shoppers coming into your store.

Gondola Store Shelf & Shelving

Investing in gondola store shelving can also help you with loss prevention.
The type of used shelving in your store plays an important role in helping surveillance equipment and employees keep an eye on customer honesty. We have learned through experience that the best height for gondola store shelves is between 72-84 inches. Anything higher is too tall to see over. 72” is still plenty of room to store your products, especially when you consider that each individual shelf on a gondola retail store display can hold approximately 350 lbs in weight. Even better, shelf heights and depth can be adjusted, allowing you to setup custom displays and maximize lighting on your products.

There are two main categories of gondola store shelving: aisle display and wall display.
Double-sided gondola store shelves are called aisle shelves because they literally create aisles for shoppers to walk through. The adjustability of these shelves makes them a money maker for the creative merchandiser. By varying the depth of used display shelving near the bottom, you can distribute more light on products that often go unnoticed because of dark spots and shadows.

Wall shelves are sing-sided and are intended to convert wall space into merchandising space. Equally important, wall shelves can be placed on either end of an aisle shelf to make an end cap. Another very important use of single-sided gondolas is for making end caps. This brings additional custom attention to the most important items in your inventory, and it makes it easier to run sales.

Space planning services are included with your purchase.
Don’t worry about doing all this space planning and calculation yourself. We will be happy to do it for you if you are seriously considering investing in either used or new gondola store shelving. All we need from you is some sort of floor plan and maybe some pictures of your store—something to give our staff a solid set of numbers and a working visual frame of reference. We can then recommend aisle and wall gondola retail shelves for your store that will allow you to do more with your existing square footage than you previously thought possible. If you need help with a special “tough spot” in your store, send us some pictures and tell us what you want to do with this portion of your facility and we will do our best to customize a special shelving solution for you.

Prices on gondola shelving are great, so call today.
Used gondola store shelving does not have to cost you a lot of money, either. Don’t think that you have to strain an already tight budget on new shelves when used shelving can do the job just as well. We have all colors available, so whatever layout or size your current facility features, we have something for you.

Gondola Shelves and Shelving

How important is gondola shelving to merchandising?
It can be the key to your merchandising success. Proper positioning of your shelving in conjunction with proper lighting helps you better display your best products and showcase your hottest items on sales.

Investing now in new gondola shelves can get your store ready for the Christmas season and give you a winning competitive edge over other stores in your area. The key to doing this right is to work with a space planning expert like your account manager at Easy Rack. A professional who is knowledgeable in retail layouts can show you how to do more with your existing space than you may think currently possible, and how to combine different types of gondola retail shelves to create more effective layouts and displays.

How many different types of gondola shelves are there?
There are many different heights and shelving depths, but really only two category types of gondola shelves. The first is double sided gondola shelving, also known as aisle shelving, which runs vertically through your floor plan and creates aisles for shoppers to walk through.

The other type of used gondola shelving is single-sided wall shelving, which also has a very useful dual function as an end-cap shelf if you want to bring certain items on special into a central position of prominence for people walking in through the main entrance.

Can these shelves be customized?
The individual shelves themselves are units of a fixed horizontal and vertical size and a variable shelf depth. However, the combinations you can create with these individual display shelf units are endless. Easy Rack will help you customize any order to maximize your exact space management requirements. Simple gives us some floor plans or digital photos of your store and we will get started today.

People steal from me a lot. What type of gondola shelves do you have that can help me?
You need units that will allow your managers, employees, and security equipment to see over into the aisle beyond and monitor customer activity. We have found that the best shelving heights are 72” if you do not have cameras and possibly 84” if you have mirrors on the corner ceilings and surveillance cameras in key locations. Anything higher than this creates blind spots that are too tempting for some people to remain honest.

Do you have any gondola shelving that comes in decorative colors?
Yes. We have a wide range of colors which complement the general decorative layouts of the full gamut of retailer types. We have almond, black, caramel, beige, light beige, and gray, just to name a few.

How large are the individual shelves themselves?
They can be as short as 12” and as long as 22”. Generally, most shelves support an average weight capacity of approximately 350 lbs.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of used pallet racks, commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting,and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.
