When you step inside the Ventura Market, it quickly becomes clear that the team running this store knows merchandising. The aisles are wide and accessible while fixtures are stocked to be attractive and product dense.

But they had a problem – how to add more shelf space without replacing fixtures or changing the store’s current layout?

They called Creative Display Works with the idea to build a ‘riser candy shelf’ that could be attached to the top of their current gondola fixtures.

It didn’t take long for our team to brainstorm the perfect solution. After a round of prototyping and fitment testing in-store, we had it. Presenting, the 4ft gondola riser candy shelf.

The fixture is designed to stand on gondola’s top shelf, while allowing full display of product on the shelf below. The gondola riser candy shelf is made with steel wire and punch tube, allowing height adjustment for the shelf in 1″ increments. And the front tag channel is built-in, to help keep the store’s consistent price tagging.

We were able to add 32 linear feet of candy shelving to this 16ft gondola run – without making ANY structural changes to the existing fixture.  The gondola riser shelf fixture has a flat base that simply rests on the existing top shelf.

And the results? The owner called us after he was able to see them in person for the first time. They love the new shelves and their lead manager Julia now has the space she’s been needing to add even more product to the store’s already well merchandised and product dense, displays.

Stop by San Tan Ventura Market and see for yourself, and make sure to grab your favorite candy while you’re there. This store has the most well stocked candy aisles in the area, and now even more room to add more goodies for their customers.
