When it comes to fitting out a sales outlet, every square metre counts. Simple wall-mountedgondolas are an essential solution for making efficient use of wall space while offering a clear, accessible and attractive presentation of products. Versatile, modular and suitable for a wide range of sectors, they optimise space without cluttering up the aisles.
This article explains the advantages, uses and criteria for choosing a single wall-mounted gondola.
What is a single wall-mounted gondola?
A wall-mounted single gondola is a shelving system designed to be installed against a wall.
Unlike double-sided central gondolas, it displays products on one side only, enabling :
- to maximise the use of the wall surface,
- free up floor space,
- to structure the shop effectively,
- improve the clarity of the offer for customers.
It is made up of vertical uprights, brackets and height-adjustable shelves (tablars).
Why choose a single wall-mounted gondola?
1. Optimising space
Walls are often under-utilised. The wall-mounted gondola allows you to use all the available height without obstructing traffic.
2. Clear, accessible presentation
Products are immediately visible, well aligned and easily accessible for both customers and staff.
3. Modularity
Tablars can be moved, added or removed as required: promotions, seasons, new references.
4. Suitable for all retail outlets
Whether for a small shop or a large department stores’, the wall-mounted gondola adapts to all configurations.
An ideal solution for many sectors
Simple wall-mounted gondolas are particularly suitable for :
- grocery shops and supermarkets,
- convenience stores,
- pharmacies and parapharmacies,
- specialist shops,
- DIY shops,
- non-food outlets,
- concept stores.
They enable products to be presented in an orderly and professional way, whatever the sector of activity.
Choosing the right height for your wall-mounted gondola
The height of the gondola should be chosen according to :
- ceiling height,
- the type of products on display,
- the visibility you want,
- accessibility for customers.
The heights commonly used allow either overall visibility of the shop (lower gondolas) or maximum storage and display capacity (higher gondolas).
Tablars: a key element
The tablars (or shelves) form the product display surface. Their depth must be adapted to the type of items on display:
- 30 cm: small products, accessories, cosmetics
- 40 cm: versatile depth
- 50 cm: bulky products or products packed in cartons
It is perfectly possible to combine several depths on the same wall-mounted gondola.
Aesthetics and integration into the shop
Design plays an important role in the customer experience.
Wall-mounted gondolas generally come in sober, modern colours that are easy to integrate into any style of shop. They help to create an environment :
- clear,
- orderly,
- professional,
- consistent with the store’s visual identity.
New or second-hand wall gondola?
New wall gondola
- Ideal for a new shop
- Impeccable appearance
- Maximum longevity
Second-hand wall gondola
- Cost-effective solution
- Controlled material
- Perfect for redevelopment or extension
Both options offer the same modularity and layout possibilities.
Conclusion
The single wall-mounted gondola is an effective solution for making intelligent use of the walls in your shop. Thanks to its modularity, ease of installation and adaptability, it meets the needs of many stores, whatever their size or sector.
Whether to optimise space, improve product presentation or structure your sales area, the wall-mounted gondola remains a reliable, durable and essential piece of equipment for any successful retail layout.
