Can I mix Ready-to-Ship gondola shelves with Madix factory-direct gondola units?

No. The RS shelf (WGS1) and the Madix shelf (WGS) are separate products for separate gondola systems — they are not interchangeable. Always confirm which gondola system you are buying into before ordering shelves. If in doubt, contact our team at 800-571-3301 with your existing upright specifications.

Does the Wall Gondola RS include shelves, or do I need to order them separately?

The MWG1 includes the upright standards, base structure, and hardware for a complete wall gondola bay — shelves are ordered separately using the Steel Gondola Shelves RS (WGS1). This allows you to specify the shelf count and configuration independently of the base unit.

Do I need a Wall Gondola End unit (MWGE1) for every wall gondola run?

You need one MWGE1 at each open end of a wall gondola run. In a straight wall run, that means one MWGE1 at each end of the run (two total). In a corner configuration, the corner connection point eliminates the need for an end unit at that junction. Contact our team at 800-571-3301 for layout planning.

Why are end cap positions considered the highest-traffic positions in a gondola layout?

End caps are visible from the cross-aisle — customers approaching the aisle see the end cap face before they turn into the aisle. This gives end caps significantly higher product exposure than mid-aisle positions. Retailers typically use end caps for promotional merchandise, seasonal items, and high-margin products that benefit from maximum customer exposure.

Can the Gondola Shelving Counter be used as a standalone checkout counter without connecting to a gondola run?

Yes. The GSCOUNTER functions as a standalone POS counter with integrated gondola-format shelving on the customer-facing side. It does not need to be connected to an existing gondola run — it can be positioned independently on the sales floor as a freestanding checkout and display unit.
