Knowing these measurements will help determine what custom fixtures fit your store best. Think about incorporating slat walls, pegboards, or gondola shelving.

Night deliveries are great for grocery stores because they create less chaos when the restocked items arrive. If the store is closed, fewer people are around so that employees can keep stock on the shelves more easily. Also, with the store being closed, it’s better to have the employees take a more focused look into what the inventory looks like so that you don’t have to do this during open hours.
There are so many different shelving options you can choose from for your grocery store. There are wire shelves, wooden shelves, plastic shelves, and more. Consider what sort of theme your grocery store is going for and try to match that. S-Cube Fixtures can help design the perfect combination of shelving types so that you and your customers can find products quicker and easier. Different shelving can help differentiate brands, prices, and more, even if you're only selling a specific product. Most customers find themselves attracted to the things that stand out, so let that be your shelving.
Putting products on shelves takes a bit of thinking. You’ll want heavier weighed items on the bottom shelf so if they fall off, it isn’t a safety hazard and lighter items on top. You’d be surprised how often heavy products can fall off and hurt someone in a grocery store. Also, make sure your shelving can provide an organization of some sort. For instance, if you sell mostly cans, getting shelves with built-in dividers may help customers have easier access to grab.

Feedback is everything when running any store. Take time to ask customers what they’d personally like to see within the store or what they’ve liked going to others. This way, you can decide how to lay out your own grocery store, whether shelvings, fixtures, or something else. Giving the customers what they want is another tactic for creating a welcoming atmosphere that will attract them again.
