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.

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.
