How to Choose the Right Gondola Shelving Height

The height of your gondola shelving affects product capacity, customer sight lines, and the overall feel of your store. Standard grocery stores use 60-72 inch gondola heights. Convenience stores favor 48-54 inch heights for an open feel. Hardware stores often go to 84 inches to take advantage of tall ceilings.

A good rule of thumb: if your shoppers navigate independently, keep gondola heights at or below 72 inches so staff can monitor the floor. If shoppers ask for help, taller heights improve capacity without hurting service.
