Small Grocery Stores

A grocery could contain all of the departments listed above or less, but what about small grocery stores. They cannot have all the departments fit into a small place, right? Then, how do they keep groceries? Small grocery stores may have all of the things in a common area or focus on only one of the listed categories.

Layout  of a Grocery Store

When you enter the Grocery store, you are at the front, so you will probably notice the Front End Department right here. This is where you will have to be back at the end! All the cash registers, ATMs, or even banks can be here.  Now, you will be introduced to the bakery, meat, seafood, and deli department. Some Grocery Stores even have coffee bars here. Next, you will reach the center of the Grocery store. Here you will find all the day-to-day use of Grocery items. This is actually where the central part of the Grocery store is. In other words, you can say it is the heart of the Grocery store, which is very important for the success of a Grocery Store. They may also have health and beauty products. Some Grocery Stores also have a Floral Department, which may be separate or connected to another department. The Floral Department is not very common and not often found. Like the Floral Department, Café or Coffee Bars also exist in some Grocery Stores and are uncommon.

They’re Designed to Make You Walk

As already told, Grocery Stores are designed to make you walk a certain way and in a certain direction. Almost all the Grocery Stores are designed to make you walk from the right side to the left side. In short, the department you see in the beginning is the one you shop in, and when you reach the end, you will be introduced to the cooling or freezing section.

This question has an interesting answer. Milk is something everyone would end up buying, even if it is almond milk or coconut milk. The back of a Grocery Store is always the farthest from the door; hence the shopper will have to go to the end of the Grocery store to get milk which will make them check out all the other things coming in your way.
