  • Industry standard gross profit in dairy section = 30%
  • If average store sells 7% more dairy, sales would increase by $28,243.25

  More B-O-F Dairy Facts

  • Because B-O-F shelving is deeper and taller than other shelving systems, it allows more front facing stock, which reduces out-of-stocks and increases sales by typically 7%.
  • Further bottom line savings are realized from reduced labor because B-O-F shelving takes less time to load. A typical store saves $1,900/year on labor.
  • Gravity flow shelving helps shoppers “shop” rather “search” for their products, resulting in fewer door openings and lower energy costs. Customers leave doors open 9.3 seconds less, which translates to greater energy efficiency (assumes 9-door cooler with dimensions of 22.3' w x 8' d x 9' h).
  • Eliminating "Cannon Bossie" racks saves .02¢-.04¢ per gallon of milk translating to a savings of $6,000-$12,000 per store per year.
