1. Which height of gondola should I choose?

1.4m – 1.6m height is commonly chosen for the following reasons:
These heights provide a more open feel to the store, enabling both the retailer and the customer to see over the top of the shelving. In smaller stores this low gondola shelving is much less overpowering than tall aisles of gondola. It also provides enhanced security throughout the store with potential shoplifters being more visible.

1.8m – 2.1m height gondolas tend to be more popular in larger shops, where it is more in proportion to the store size. A clear benefit is the increased amount of products that can be displayed.

4.What is a gondola end bay?

Gondola end bays are sometimes called promo end bays because they are often used for promotions. End bays are normally located at the end of the gondola run to provide a neat end. End bays are normally the same height as the gondola and have plain back panels on the rear to give a neat appearance as the back of the unit is visible. These rear panels also prevent items from falling off the gondola shelves down into the end bay unit.
The end bays should be selected in the correct width to match the overall width of the gondola base.
