Candy Gondola Shelving: Plan Both Customer Sides
Two-sided shelving creates useful display space only when people can browse both faces without blocking another route.
Start with the decision
Tape out the gondola, end features and occupied browsing positions. Check views from the entrance and counter, and keep the nearest junction clear enough for the shop's intended use.
Work through the details
Choose shelf depths, hooks and dividers from the actual packs. Request approved loads and accessory compatibility for the assembled arrangement rather than treating all positions as interchangeable.
A planning example
A gondola sits close to a wall cabinet. Add people browsing both faces to the plan; a clear furniture gap may become a blocked route in use. Compare a shallower gondola or a different bay position before approving the full run.
Check it in the shop
Give each bay a product role and a refill location. Photograph the approved setup and check it after a range change, including labels and stock that may have slipped behind the front rows.
