Abstract
Shelving for supporting merchandise includes a sloping base shelf that extends outwardly from a gondola wall and slightly upwardly toward a shopping aisle. The base shelf is supported by a framework that rests upon the floor. An extension shelf is mounted on a framework that is slidably mounted to the base shelf. The extension shelf and base shelf are substantially parallel and spaced apart. A pin on the frame of the extension shelf is selectably positioned in any of a plurality of stop positions provided on the base shelf framework. In a first position in the base shelf overlies the extension shelf and in a second position the extension shelf extends beyond the base shelf into the aisle. Where a large inventory is desired on the selling floor, the base shelf surface is supplemented by pulling out the extension shelf from beneath the base shelf. A grid of spaced rods extends perpendicularly from the base shelf until it contacts the back wall of the gondola, providing a sloping surface against which the product leans while standing on the sloped base shelf.
