Abstract
An apparatus and method display and dispense merchandise at plural dispensing tiers at a point-of-purchase adjacent a display shelf located at a given level and extending along lateral directions. The merchandise is in the form of packages arranged serially along each of at least lower and upper paths of travel spaced apart attitudinally and extending longitudinally toward corresponding lower and upper forward dispensing locations spaced apart attitudinally and placed at the point-of-purchase. Lower dividers are placed for juxtaposition with the lower serially arranged packages, and upper dividers are coupled with the lower dividers for juxtaposition with the upper serially arranged packages such that the lower and upper forward dispensing locations are placed spaced apart attitudinally to establish the plural dispensing tiers at the point-of-purchase. A pusher-track assembly is secured between lower dividers and between upper dividers for the selective dispensing of packages at the point-of-purchase.
