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.

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.

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.

Contact us at 888-776-3720 whenever such questions arise and let us help you make the best investment within your budget to ensure home field advantage and continued stability in shifting markets where prosperity can still be guaranteed through wise decisions.
