Magazine Shelving and Racking

Magazine shelving units are a versatile way to display paper goods, including cards, magazines, newspapers, stationery and even wrapping paper. Whether you're stocking extra cards in the run up to Christmas or expanding your stock to include other paper goods, magazine shelves are adaptable and durable, perfect for many different requirements.

These shelving racks can easily be connected to other shop shelving units like wall shelving to create bespoke runs. As you can see in the picture, the height of each shelf can be adjusted according to the type of products you have on display, and the large base shelf is ideal for stacking newspapers or housing boxed items. 

Our magazine shelving units are available with a standard 470mm base shelf but this can be swapped for any size you need. Each unit has eight angled magazine shelf tiers and as with all our shelving units, additional shelves can be purchased and added if needed. Choose from three different heights to match your existing shelving: 1.8m, 2.1m or 2.4m. 

If you're not sure how magazine shelving will work with your current shelving configuration, bring along a basic floor plan of your store to our shelving showroom and we'll help you to work out the best arrangement for your requirements! While you're there, 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.

Magazine, Newspaper and Card Shelving

Magazine shelving can be a valuable asset to any store. Giving your customers the opportunity to browse this morning’s headlines, pick up their favourite newspaper or choose a glossy magazine can mean that your shop is part of their daily routine. But this shop shelving is even more versatile than that; books, computer games and DVDs can all be stored on these shelving units, too.

Shelving4Shops have extended their range and now not only do we supply newspaper and magazine shelving, we can supply card displayunits as well.

The new card display units shown above are suitable for any size store. With a fresh, clean look they can add diversity and interest to your stock ranges, and make your store more inviting to passing trade. Card display stands are very useful for stocking paper goods and stationery, especially if you stock birthday cards for those last minute purchases.

Standard magazine shelving (shown below) is also available from Shelving4Shops. This shelving is excellent for stores that stock newspapers and magazines and need an open base shelf for storing the bulky broadsheets or the weekend newspapers.

Both magazine shelving units and card display units are strong, hard-wearing and give a clean, crisp look to any store.

If you would like to be the first to know about our new stock ranges why not follow us on Facebook or Twitter, or visit our website at www.shelving4shops.co.uk for more information about our shop shelving and racking.

Shelving4Shops stocks thousands of bays of shop shelving and accessories, including:

·     Used shop shelving - We stock a wide range of second-hand shop shelving and we can work with you to source the shelving you need to match your existing stock.

·     Gondola shelving - A classic choice for many stores, gondola shelving can be used to create aisles throughout your store or be used in conjunction with other units we offer to create seamless shelving.

·     Wall shelving - Use this shelving around the perimeter of your shop floor to maximise your floor space and provide ample room for displaying items.

·     Shopping baskets - A great way to encourage customers to purchase more items is to make it easier for them to hold items. Place shopping baskets not just at the entrance to your store but also dotted around the aisles, this way you can increase the number of items and impulse purchases a customer will buy.

·     Wire stacking baskets - These are an excellent way to display impulse purchase items or to put sale items in throughout the store. As these are freestanding they can be used to fill that empty space you have that can not be filled with classic shelving bays.

·     Wire dump bins - Similar to stacking baskets these dump bins can be used to store promotional items or impulse purchase items. They are also an excellent way to create a space in front of the checkout for people to queue in so they do not block the rest of the store.

·     Corner shelving - Utilise every inch of floor space you have by using specialist corner shelving to bring life back into an overlooked corner of your store.

·     Peg board shelving and pegs - Not all products can sit well on a 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.

Choosing and Buying Shop Shelving

Buying new or used shop shelving from Shelving4Shops is easy. Whether you're planning a complete refit, opening a new store, or simply need some replacement shelving units or accessories, we can help you get it sorted from start to finish. Here are just some of the ways we can help you find the perfect shop shelving solution for your store:

- If you know exactly which retail shelving units you need, then simply give us a call on 01455 221512 to see if we are able to supply them. We can offer you new or second hand shop shelving to suit your budget and requirements. 

- If you need to draw up a shop plan then we can help you to organise the most cost-effective and efficient shelving configuration for your needs. All we need is an accurate floor plan with measurements and positioning of doors and windows etc.

- If you need help choosing between the different types of retail shelving units we offer, we can give you advice on the benefits of each, including: 

• Gondola shelving - A classic shelving option used in many stores, this shelving can be used to create aisles in your store and can be linked with other bays to create seamless shelving.
• Wall shelving - Utilise every inch of your store by placing wall shelving around the perimeter of your store and maximise the floor space you have available.
• Peg board shelving - Not all items sit well on a flat shelf, using pegboard shelving with hooks gives you an excellent place to hang items and these can be used in conjunction with another bay unit to create a seamless display.
• End bays - Navigating the store often means the section of the store that receives the most foot traffic is the end of the aisle, use end bays to display sale or impulse purchase items.
• Magazine shelving - The front cover is vital for the sale of paper goods, using specialist magazine units ensure you are displaying paper goods in the most appealing way possible.
• Dump bins & stacking wire baskets - Utilise those empty corners or around you checkout by placing small impulse purchase items in bins and stacking baskets.
• Shelving accessories - Customise your shelving to ensure you get the most out of your store, from tags to shelf dividers we have everything you need.

- If you want bespoke units made up of different components (such as a gondola unit with peg board backing on one side and standard shelving on the other), just let us know and one of our team will be happy to help.

- If you need replacement shop shelving that will match your existing units, we will do our best to source an exact match or shelving units that have the same or similar dimensions to create a seamless look.

- If you need us to deliver and assemble your retail shelving, we can do that too! All our units break down into components for easy transportation, and are easily assembled once in your store. Just let us know if you need an extra hand with delivery or setting up your new shelving units.

- You can place your order over the phone, online on our website or in person at our Leicestershire shelving showroom. Please bear in mind that VAT will be added to our prices at the checkout stage.

If there's anything else you can think of to make choosing and buying shop shelving any easier, let us know and we'll do our best to help! 

Revamp your store without spending the earth

Is your store or shop shelving in need of a bit of a revamp? It's very easy to put these things off with the logic that it's better to do it all in one big go, but sometimes it's much more effective (and cost-efficient) to update the little details of your store regularly so that it constantly looks in great condition. You'd be surprised how much difference just a small change can make! Here are just a few ideas:

• Updating your Epos strips helps to keep your shop shelving looking neat and clean, and you can even colour-coordinate your ticket strips with the branding of your shop, or colour-code different sections to help customers find the right item. 
• If you have a run of shop shelving with one or two units in disrepair, there's no need to replace the whole lot - Shelving4Shops can help you to find a used shelving unit to fill the gap and match the remaining shelving units so that you can keep your store looking tidy.
• Is you flooring uneven, worn, or dirty? Installing new flooring or carpeting can make a huge impact to the appearance of your store. Granted it's a fairly big operation to carry out, but it is not as expensive as a complete refit and can be done in a day with the right team of workers! If you can't stretch to a whole new floor, take some time to give your existing flooring a proper deep clean.
• Worn out or flickering fighting can have a really poor effect on the appearance of your store. It's really worth investing in reliable lighting to show off your products properly and make your shop bright and inviting.
• When was the last time you reorganised your shop shelving? Why not try a different shelving combination, add peg board shelving or a magazine shop racking? You might find a more efficient method of displaying products and give the appearance of a real update for your store.
• Dump bins and stacking wire baskets can be placed almost anywhere in a store, providing additional temporary shelving and display space for promotional or seasonal items, or any products that are end-of-line stock that you're hoping to shift quickly! Place them at the end of aisles, in empty corners, or near the checkout counter to encourage spontaneous purchases. 
• Shiny, bright, multi-coloured shopping baskets placed by the entrance of your store help to encourage customers to use them, meaning they're more likely to pick up a few more items than they would otherwise. If your shopping baskets are old and outdated, why not revamp with a set of new ones?

Sometimes the little details can make a big difference to the appearance of your shop shelving and the overall atmosphere of your store. Take the time to update one part of your store each week, and see how much better it looks by the end of the month.

Along with all of the shelving and accessories mentioned above, Shelving4shops stocks a full range of quality shelving which we now offer in cream, black and grey, including:

- Wall Shelving - Use wall shelving around the perimeter of your store to maximise the floor space you have available and provide plenty of display space.

- Gondola Shelving - A classic choice when it comes to shelving, this highly versatile style of shelving works well with a range of products and can be used in connection with our other bay units to create seamless custom shelving.

- Shelves and Accessories - Customise your shelving with our range of accessories to make sure your shelving works for you and your store needs.

- Corner Shelving - Corner shelving ensures that every square inch of your floor space is being utilised and that no floor space is being left unused.

Big Plans for Leicestershire Shop Owner

Some people think it’s better to hold back on big projects and shop refits in this ever-changing financial climate, but not so for a Leicestershire man who has gone all out to convert a tired-looking furniture show room in Barwell into a fresh looking Londis store.

Before the refit 

As you can see this wasn't just a quick lick of paint or replacing a few ceiling tiles - the property needed a full refit and major building work. The shop was split in two with a brick supporting wall, and since this layout wouldn't work for a convenience store, the wall had to go...

Removing the wall opened up the whole the shop floor, providing an expanse of wall space which has been maximised buy installing large runs of multidec chillers and double door freezers.

Shop with stud wall

With the wall was taken out, steel support beams were added to take the weight of the upstairs floor and roof trusses. A new floor was added using light coloured floor tiles which give the property a nice bright feel - this was also necessary to make the floor level which made our job a lot easier when it came to fitting the retail shelving!

The whole of the existing ceiling was removed and a new suspended ceiling installed. Modern lighting was fitted and extra lights added to brighten the shop. All this work has really transformed the shop from an old dark building to a modern and inviting retail space.

Work in progress 

Retail shelving was added in between the chillers, including magazine shelving and wall shelving units. Two runs of gondola shelving was placed in the centre of the floor, adding direction and flow around the store. Finally, end bays were added to each gondola run to maximise the floor space and give a professional look.

Installation of Gondola Shelving 

Gondola shelving and end bay 

Gondola shelving 

A four metre counter was installed and wire stacking baskets added for crisps and confectionery items, helping to encourage impulse buys whilst customers queue at the till and allowing the store to maximise on sales.

Wire dump bins were also added around the store to fill awkward spaces and make the shop look more interesting. After all the retail shelving had been assembled it was clear to determine any blind spots around the shop and where CCTV cameras could be installed.

CCTV behind Counter 

Londis organised and fitted the shop front signs on the outside of the property which completely transformed the look of the old furniture showroom into a modern and inviting convenience store.

Then all that was left to do was merchandise the shop shelving and start trading! The

Shelving4Shops team wish them every success for all their hard work, and we look forward to working with them on their next projects.

Stocked Gondola and Wall Shelving

Along with all of the shelving and accessories mentioned above, Shelving4shops stocks a full range of quality shelving which we now offer in cream, black and grey:

- Wall Shelving - Place wall shelving around the perimeter of your store to make the most of the floor space you have available.

- Gondola - A classic choice when it comes to shelving, this is a highly versatile style of shelving for all types of products and can be used with our range of shelving accessories to give a custom space to suit your store.

- Magazine Units - Magazine units ensure you can present your paper goods in an effective way to draw in customers as the front cover needs to be on view.

- Shelves and Accessories - Customise your shelving with our vast range of accessories, we have everything you will need to divide, label and hold any product you are looking to display in your store.

- Corner Shelving - Often due to the shape of traditional shelving the corners of shops get left unused but corner shelving ensures that every square inch of your floor space is being utilised.

- Peg Board Gondola Shelving - If you have products that would be better displayed hanging up rather than flat on a shelf then pegboard shelving is the perfect solution.

Store Advice Part 1 – The Basics

Opening a store can be a tricky business, particularly if it is your first store. Shelving4Shops is here to help every step of the way - from designing and planning to the supply of your retail shelving.

We know that ensuring customers have a great experience in your store means repeat business, and it's these regular clients that keep a store going through the good and the bad. In a series of blog posts we're going to look at some useful tips on setting up and maintaining a successful shop. Here's part 1 - the basics:

1) The Entrance – It might seem obvious but simple things like making the entrance to your store free from clutter is vital. Your entrance also needs to make it easy for pushchairs or wheelchair users to access the store. Shopping baskets should be located close to the front entrance and should be kept clean and in good order so that customers will want to collect one as they pass. Do you need to upgrade your shopping baskets, perhaps purchase some with wheels? Would shopping trolleys be required for your store? These are all questions that you should ask yourself when opening your doors for the first time.

2) The Walk Round – Take a walk around your store and look at things from a customer's perspective. Are the aisles wide enough for disabled customers? Will that box or pillar stop pushchairs getting through? When planning your shop it is easy to forget details like pillars and awkward corners, so if you have a complicated space make a real life floor plan. Spending half a day doing this can save you a lot of time and money in the long run. At Shelving4Shops we're more than happy to go over your floor plan with you to help you choose the perfect shop fittings and shelving to suit your requirements. Once the store is set up keep the floor free from obstructions and make sure your stock is placed neatly on your shop shelving so that nothing protrudes out into the aisle.

3) Lighting – A flickering overhead light is very distracting and can make your store look unmaintained. If you have faulty or blown tubes or lamps make sure you replace them as soon as possible. Be aware that insects can sometimes get trapped in your lighting, so make it part of your cleaning routine to remove these regularly. Good lighting is essential - a dark and gloomy store is not inviting so make sure you use all of the natural light available and keep your overhead and wall lights well maintained. Lighting can also be used to draw attention to your retail shelving or display stands if you have any special offers.

Old and Tired Lighting

New Bright and Clean Lighting 

4) Smell and Cleanliness – You know the trick of increasing the chance of selling your house by brewing coffee or baking bread or biscuits to make it inviting? Well the same applies to your store. The smell of a store really depends on what you are selling - for instance, a convenience store might have the smell of freshly baked bread or fresh fruit and vegetables as soon as you walk in the door, and a café would do well to have the aroma of fresh coffee and cakes. Bad smells, on the other hand, can put customers off before they even reach the door. Make sure your store is clean and tidy, from the shop window to the store room. Nothing will damage your business more than a bad reputation and this can come from something as small as being untidy and badly smelling. 

5) Maintaining Standards – So many times we have seen stores open and be fitted out with brand new gondola shelving and magazine racks only to go back three years later and see a tired looking store with broken EPOS and grubby plastic strips, and, on occasion, dented or missing shelving. These things are of course likely to happen in a busy store, which is why Shelving4Shops not only sells complete shelving units but also their component parts, so if you're in need of a new shop shelf, brackets, or back panels just give us a call and we can help.

Book Shelving Stands for a Major Book Distributor

A major book and magazine distributor contacted us recently asking for a quote on book stand shelving for twenty sites around the UK and Shelving4Shops was able to offer them a 50% reduction on their existing quotation.

We began to roll out these new bookshelves earlier this month and have had great feedback. These book and magazine shelves are easy to install, sturdy and great value for money, and can also be uses for books, magazines and newspapers. 

Winning such sought-after contracts makes us proud of our fast, friendly and dedicated team. We are constantly looking for the best deal for our customers so that we can offer great prices as well as advice on lowering your costs.

The Shelving4Shops showroom is based in Wolvey and provides you with the opportunity to see our magazine shelving for yourself, as well as our extensive range of other shelving options. If you are thinking of opening a store, or planning a refit, bring along your plans and we can give you one-to-one experienced advice on layouts and maybe even come up with some extra ideas. We have a full range of shelving available in cream, black and grey including:

- Wall Shelving - An excellent shelving option to put around the edge of your store, these bays sit flush against the wall giving you the maximum storage possible.

- Gondolas - Often this is the most popular choice for shelving in a store as this can be used to create aisles throughout your store and we stock 4 widths and 4 heights to ensure we have the correct size to fit you and your store.

- Magazine Units - The biggest selling point of a magazine is the front cover, using specialist shelving ensures that you display the magazines or any paper goods in the most appealing way possible to customers.

- Shelves and Accessories - Customise your shelving to suit you and your needs with our extensive range of shelving accessories to make the most of the shelving you have.

- End Bays - The end of aisles receives a lot of foot traffic so this is an excellent place to display sale and impulse purchase items.

- Corner Shelving - Utilise every inch of floor space you have by using corner shelving to fill that forgotten back corner of your store.

- Peg Board Wall Shelving - Peg board shelving is excellent if you have lots of items that do not sit well on a shelf and need to be hung. You can add hooks to hang items on or when you need more flat space you can add shelves to the pegboard to ensure you are always using the space.

- Peg Board Gondola Shelving - These bays offer you space to hang items that do not sit well on a flat surface. These bays can be used in connection with our other bay units to create seamless displays.

If you need to contact us or would like to order a magazine shelving unit, please visit our website www.shelving4shops.co.uk or call us on 01455 221512.

Shelving4Shops is a part of Shoptek UK - one of the UK's leading companies sourcing and selling used supermarket shelving and shop equipment.

Shelving4Shops was created to fill that gap, and we provide a range of shopfittings and shop shelving, including:

• peg board shelving and peg board gondola units
• high and low gondola shelving
• high and low end bays

Of course, we also offer used shelving as well, and if you have very specific needs, or can't find what you're looking for on our website or in our showroom, we'll do our very best to source the perfect shop shelving for you.

Help With Shop Shelving and Shopfittings from Start to Finish

At Shelving4Shops we don't just sell shelves. Oh no. We really do provide help with your shopfittings and shop shelving from start to finish. That means:

• We'll be on hand to discuss your shelving requirements and work with you to create the best layout for your needs (and budget!).

• We'll advise you on the right kind of shelving for your products and space, whether that's gondola shelving, peg board shelving, or magazine racks!

• We'll source the best matching shelving units possible, if you need to add to existing shelving.

• We'll find you used and second hand shop shelving units if that's what you need, too.

• We'll give you an all-inclusive quote, with no hidden extras or charges.

• We'll deliver your shop shelving to your door and help you assemble it if you need us to.

• We'll provide you with all the shopfittings and extras you need to complete your store, such as wire shelf dividers and risers, Epos ticket strips and dump bins.

Below are just a few of the shelving options that we carry at Shelving4shops many of which are now available in black or grey:

- Wall Shelving -

- Gondolas - These are a classic choice of shelving for many stores, they can be used in stores that sell a range of products and we have them available in 4 heights and 4 widths to ensure that we have the perfect fit for your store.

- Magazine Units - By having magazines and other paper goods front covers clearly visible you increase the odds of people picking them up and purchasing them. Using purpose-built magazine units you can ensure the best display option for your store.

- Shelves and Accessories - Ensure that your shelves are fully customised to you and your store's needs. The simple addition of shelf dividers means that your products remain in the correct place and are neatly behind the product information on the shelf.

- End Bays - Not everyone walks up and down every aisle in a store but often they walk past the end of an aisle to get around the store or to get to the checkout. An end bay is a perfect place to put promotional offers or impulse purchase items to encourage shoppers to pick up extra items.

- Corner Shelving - Due to the shape of popular shelving, often the corner of a store gets left empty, the simple addition of a corner shelving unit gives you extra display room and ensures there is not an unkempt corner of the store.

- Peg Board Gondola Shelving - Not all products sit well on a traditional flat shelf, pegboard gives you the option to add hooks to allow you to hang items. Do not worry, if you run out of hanging items you can add shelves to pegboard shelving to ensure you never lose display space.

Whether your business is just starting out or you're planning a full store refit, get in touch for experienced, down-to-earth help with all your shop shelving and shopfittings needs.
