Abstract: Excerpt from the report: The object of this study was to help reduce costs of retailing foods by improving the allocation of selling space. This was undertaken by: (1) Examining the stocking procedures of 11 retail food stores with different management, sizes, and locations; (2) examining the effectiveness of their present shelf space allocations; (3) developing a stocking plan for allocation of selling space in relation to item sales performance; (4) attempting to increase turnover in existing items; and (5) making it possible for stores to carry a bigger selection of merchandise without appreciably increasing investment in floor space.
