As explained earlier, we have changed our shelf space to be 74sq ft. After trying to place the desired amount of shelving into our prototype, we realized that they will not fit, and we have to drastically reduce the amount.
- 4, 10ft x 1ft 3 sided shelving units (40sq ft). These will rest against the west wall. They will each be 10ft long, 1 ft deep, and 6ft tall (including the lower 3ft tall locked cabinet). 1 ft deep ensures that we don't store an excessive amount of rows of product on our shelves, and since we have the locked storage cabinets below, storing respective products, we won't run out of a product on shelf.
- 2, 3ft x 3ft 4 sided shelves (18sq ft). These will be placed behind the lounge, east of the 3 sided shelving units, where our customers can comfortably access all 4 sides. They will be 3ft wide on all 4 sides, and 6ft tall (including the lower 3ft tall locked cabinet).
- 1, 4ft x 4ft table (16sq ft). This table will be placed in the southeast corner of the store - specifically focussing on product specials and promotional products. It will be just over 3ft tall since the table top will simply be resting on the 3ft tall locked cabinet.
With our average product taking up 9sq inches of space, we can comfortably conclude that we can fit 99 products on our shelves/tables at one time ({12inches/9inches}x74sq ft).
With our average product price of $8, we will be looking at having $792 in product available on our shelves at one time. That's $10.70/sq ft of shelf space. This ratio will be extremely useful when debating more or less shelf space. It will allow us to calculate the cost or benefit, in available product dollars, of adding or removing shelves.
