Convenience store furniture is where layout theory meets financial reality. A poorly positioned gondola costs BRL 3,000/month in unrealized sales. An undersized refrigerator limits beverage turnover at peak hours. A poorly placed cash counter creates queues that frustrate the time-pressed customer. The Petrol Group team specifies c-store furniture across all project sizes.
Essential furniture types and specifications
Central gondolas: galvanized steel with epoxy finish, maximum height 1.65m (full-store visibility from register). Depth: 35-40cm single-face, 60-80cm double-face. Refrigerators: glass-door vertical units, minimum 2 × 600L for medium-traffic stations. Always at the back wall — they pull customers through the whole store. Cash counter: 90cm height, integrated PDV screen space, glass display for impulse items (batteries, gum, lip balm). Deli/hot food counter: refrigerated display for sandwiches and meals; hot case for pastries and cheese rolls.
FAQ
Steel or MDF gondolas?
Galvanized steel for gas station c-stores — withstands frequent cleaning with chemical agents, heavy product loads, and forecourt moisture. MDF only for dry interior areas without chemical exposure.
