Manufacturing Display Shelves Suitable for Grocery Stores

Grocery stores require efficient space management. Display shelves are not just for merchandise—they are a sales tool that determines whether customers see products and want to buy them. Lá Me grocery store in District 1, HCMC, once faced a problem: cluttered goods, difficult for customers to find, and stagnant revenue. After replacing with professional display shelves, revenue increased by 25-35% in the first 3 months.

This article guides you on choosing suitable grocery display shelves—from product type, size, and material to cost and installation process.

##What are grocery display shelves and why are they important?

Grocery display shelves are specialized retail equipment designed to display everyday consumer goods (food, beverages, cosmetics, household items). Shelves help optimize space, increase product visibility by 40-60%, improve customer experience, and support impulse purchases.

According to Việt POS's experience implementing for 100+ grocery stores, mini-marts, and retail stores, professional display shelves help:

• Optimize space: each square meter of retail space increases visibility 2-3 times compared to stacking goods on a table.
• Increase revenue: customers easily find products, increasing purchase rates by 20-35%.
• Reduce loss: goods are protected, reducing damage and breakage by 15-25%.
• Enhance brand: the store looks professional, and customers trust it more.

##What are the popular types of grocery display shelves today?

Grocery display shelves are divided into 5 main types: traditional wooden shelves, modern glass shelves, POSM advertising shelves, combined cabinet shelves, and export single shelves. Each type is suitable for different types of goods, store sizes, and budgets.

Tân Phát grocery store in Bình Dương chose wooden display shelves for the dry food section (noodles, oil, spices) and glass shelves for the milk and cosmetics section—this combination helped optimize the 80m² space and increased revenue by 28% in 6 months.

##How to choose the right grocery display shelves for your store?

Choosing grocery display shelves is based on 4 criteria: (1) main type of goods, (2) store area, (3) estimated load capacity, (4) budget. Process: store survey → identify sales areas → select shelf type → calculate quantity → install.

• Type of goods: Dry food (noodles, oil, spices) → wooden or single shelves. Milk, cosmetics, jewelry → glass shelves. Promotional items, new products → POSM shelves. High-end goods needing protection → combined cabinet shelves.
• Store area: Under 50m² → 3-5 shelf units. 50-100m² → 6-10 shelf units. Over 100m² → 10+ shelf units. Each shelf unit occupies 1-1.5m² of floor space.
• Load capacity: Dry food, household items → 100-150kg/tier. Cosmetics, milk → 50-80kg/tier. Light goods (cakes, candies) → 30-50kg/tier.
• Budget: Small stores (30-50m²) → 15-40 million VND. Medium stores (50-100m²) → 40-100 million VND. Large stores (100m²+) → 100-250 million VND.
