Convenience Store Shelving and Racking for Fresh Produce

To compete in the convenience store industry, rising numbers of businesses are offering fresh goods and self-service counters to provide hot and chilled produce to customers on the go. Convenience store customers often pass by on their way to work or school or pop in on their lunch break for something quick and easy to eat. Offering fresh goods means that your store traffic will increase as you become a handy stop for all sorts of customers. In addition to packeted goods, newspapers and popular items stocked on wall shelving and gondola shelving, you can also provide customers with fresh items displayed in refrigerated shelving units and counters, for example:

• Freshly-baked pastries and bread
• Self-service hot drinks machines or a coffee counter
• Chilled snacks, sandwiches and drinks
• A staffed counter serving sandwiches, delicatessen goods or even hot food
• Freezer storage for ice creams and frozen foods

The type of fresh goods you can stock will depend on the space you have available for the appropriate refrigerated shelving unit or retail racking unit. If you are serving freshly made food on the premises you will also need to obtain any relevant health and safety accreditations to ensure quality control.

Visit our website to find out more about any of the items above and to browse our huge range of new shop shelving and accessories, including:

• ·     Gondola shelving - A popular choice in many stores due to its versatility and functionality, gondola shelving is a staple shelving option for stores of any size. You can use this shelving to create aisles within your store and the range of heights and widths we stock mean that we have the shelving size for you.
  ·     Wall shelving - Use wall shelving around the edge of your store to provide plenty of shelving space while optimising the floor space you have available.
  ·     Shopping baskets - By having stacks of baskets at the front of the store and dotted around the aisles you will encourage customers to purchase more items as it is easier to carry them in a basket than with their hands.
  ·     Wire stacking baskets - These are an excellent way to display sale and impulse purchase items in your store. As these are freestanding they can be used to fill empty spaces and can be easily moved to create new interesting displays.
  ·     Corner shelving - Utilise every inch of floor space you have in your store by using specialist corner shelving to bring life back into an overlooked corner.
  ·     Peg board shelving and pegs - Not all products sit well on classic flat shelving, our range of pegboard shelving allows you to hang products to ensure they are displayed in the best way possible. All of our bays can be slotted together to ensure a seamless shelving display.
