Abstract
A shelf display is provided with a two dimensional array of separate spaced apart shelves which are fanned out in a horizontal direction. The shelves extend from a back wall inclined from the vertical and may be arranged either in columns or staggered from one row to another. The shelves are recessed so as to receive merchandising cartons and to provide support for the merchandising cartons as individual product units are removed therefrom. The shelves are spaced apart to allow light to enter the lower rows.
