This is the most traditional form of store layout in supermarkets. Supermarket stores are generally grid layout. The grid layout is that commodity display shelves and customer channels are arranged in rectangular sections, the width of the main channel and the auxiliary channel is the same, and all shelves are arranged in parallel or at right angles to each other.

Second, the layout of free flow.

The layout of free flow is based on the convenience of customers, and the goods are displayed in front of customers as much as possible. This layout sometimes adopts both grid form and isolated island form, which is an irregular distribution of customer channel routes.

The particularity of commodities mainly lies in whether they can be stacked, hung, vertically placed, horizontally placed, and in bulk. Some goods are sensitive to temperature and light, and need glass refrigerated shelves. Some precious commodities have special requirements for shelf safety measures, and some commodities that customers can directly contact should be designed to provide enough convenience for customers.

Drawer shelves in Chinese medicine shops, Bo Gu shelves in cultural relics shops, platform shelves in bookstores, box shelves in fruit shops and sling shelves in clothing stores are all designed according to the characteristics of their respective business varieties.

The distance between shelves should ensure smooth passenger flow. It is not a problem for a small shop to set up shelves and stick to the wall facing the store door. Large food stores, department stores, clothing stores, etc. The reasonable distance should be calculated according to the size of the store and the volume of the business varieties.
