Peak trading season puts more pressure on retail spaces than most other times of year. Higher footfall, faster stock turnover, and greater wear on fixtures all land at the same time. As autumn moves into winter, stock levels build, and the shop floor faces more demands from customers and staff alike. The stores that handle this period well tend to have the right setup already in place.
Filstor supplies retail shopfitting equipment and shop shelving to businesses of all sizes across the UK. We work with a range of manufacturers to stock quality products across the categories that most retail environments rely on. Here is a look at what we carry and what each is suited to.
Retail Shop Shelving
Gondola bays work well across the central floor area, keeping products visible from multiple directions. Wall bays run along the perimeter and can reach up to three metres in height. This puts vertical space to work without affecting the floor layout. Hot spot bays sit at aisle ends and suit promotional and impulse-buy lines well. Heights, widths and shelf depths vary across our retail shelving range to cover most standard store configurations.
Shop Shelving Accessories
Accessories make a practical difference to how a shop floor functions. Ticket strips, price holders and label holders keep products clearly identified and easy for customers to browse. Dividers add structure to shelves that carry a varied product mix. We stock a solid selection of shelving accessories that complement our retail shop shelving range.
Shopping Baskets
Shopping baskets take constant daily use in a busy retail environment, so durability matters from the start. Our range covers a variety of sizes, capacities and colours to suit different store formats and customer volumes. Plastic hand-held baskets are the standard choice for most convenience stores, independent retailers and smaller-format shops.
Shopping Trolleys
Trolleys tend to increase average transaction values in larger retail formats, as shoppers carry more when one is available. The right type depends on the nature and size of the store. We stock trolleys suited to supermarkets, garden centres, hardware stores, and similar retail settings.
Retail Stacking Baskets
Stacking baskets handle products that don't sit neatly on a standard shelf. Loose produce, small hardware items, craft supplies, and similar lines all suit this format well. The stackable design also keeps storage areas tidy when the baskets are not in use on the shop floor.
Dump Bin Baskets
Dump bin baskets perform well near entrances and at aisle ends, where footfall tends to be highest. Promotional lines, clearance stock, and seasonal products all display well in this format. They are also straightforward to restock quickly on a busy trading day.
