New Shop Shelving for a Loughborough Pet Store


Shelving4Shops helps to provide and fit shop shelving all kinds of businesses, from food stores to shoe shops, but they don’t get much bigger than this! When approached by one recent customer to look at a 10,000 square foot pet supplies store we were happy to help.


The size of a store is never a problem for our experienced team. With tape measures at the ready we planned and quoted for the store in just a couple of days. It did take a little longer than that, however, to be ready to install the shop shelving.

When planning to open a store of any size it’s important to bear in mind the scale of the project - electrics, flooring, cleaning, toilet facilities, Wi-Fi and so much more need to be planned, checked and maintained before the doors can open for the first time.


For this pet supplies store owner, it was the electrics that took the most time to get right. Being an old electrical retailer there were cables everywhere and the electrics for old display stands had to be removed before work could begin.

Being faced with such a large open space can be a little daunting (even for Henry Hoover) but work was soon underway to get the shop shelving in and the pet store opened.

Since the store stocked various bulky and awkward-shaped products, retail shelving was not always appropriate, so we supplied some wire stacking baskets to complement the wall and gondola shelving.




Whilst work carried on with the electrics – this time for the lighting – the gondola shelving and wall bays were completed.


When the Shelving4Shops team were finished and all of the retail shelving was complete, the counter was installed and all that was left to do was to position the wire stacking baskets and dump bins to complete the finished look.




Shelving4Shops supplies new and used shop shelving and accessories across the UK. We also have a showroom in Leicestershire so you can browse our products, and we always welcome our customers to come and take advantage of our design and plan service.

Shelving4Shops
 holds large quantities of shop shelving and accessories, including:

·     Used shop shelving - We stock a wide range of second-hand shop shelving and we can work with you to source the shelving you need to match your existing stock.
·     Gondola shelving - A classic choice for many stores, gondola shelving can be used to create aisles throughout your store or be used in conjunction with other units we offer to create seamless shelving.
·     Wall shelving - Use this shelving around the perimeter of your shop floor to maximise your floor space and provide ample room for displaying items.
·     Shopping baskets - A great way to encourage customers to purchase more items is to make it easier for them to hold items. Place shopping baskets not just at the entrance to your store but also dotted around the aisles, this way you can increase the number of items and impulse purchases a customer will buy.
·     Wire stacking baskets - These are an excellent way to display impulse purchase items or to put sale items in throughout the store. As these are freestanding they can be used to fill that empty space you have that can not be filled with classic shelving bays.
·     Wire dump bins - Similar to stacking baskets these dump bins can be used to store promotional items or impulse purchase items. They are also an excellent way to create a space in front of the checkout for people to queue in so they do not block the rest of the store.
·     Corner shelving - Utilise every inch of floor space you have by using specialist corner shelving to bring life back into an overlooked corner of your store.
·     Peg board shelving and pegs - Not all products can sit well on a flat shelving, our range of pegboard shelving allows you to hang products to ensure they are displayed in the best way possible. All of our bays can be slotted together to ensure a seamless shelving display.
