"A Different Layout for a Supermarket"
Cheap to the left, Middling in the middle aisles, expensive to the right. Everything priced by weight or by unit. ( Make things as easily comparable as possible. Maybe have a pullout cardboard chart so things in other aisles can be compared without walking
back and forth. )
I wonder what would happen, and who would shop there.
Would they pretend to shop the expensive aisles?
Would some suppliers boycott such a store ? Why ?
Would comparison shopping be easier or harder to do ?
"Only from the first three aisles of the store, now Martha." or special credit/debit cards restricted to certain aisles.
If the grocer puts an item on sale, would he have to move it ?
Freezers and refrigerators on all aisles ? or cross the back of the store.
Once you know your usual price quality decision, could just ignore two thirds of the store ? That could make the walk around the store much shorter.
Finding stuff would depend on knowing it's price or Each aisle could have the same format. drinks, then veg, then meat, then liquor, then pet food and so on back into the depth of the aisle.

Wonder if anyone ever tried to run a store this way ?

So, start at the cheap end and buy the first one
you encounter that meets your quality standards? Hmm, it would be annoying when you miss an item
in the cheap section. Now if the general store
layout stayed the same but they always arranged
similar items with the cheapest on the left, that
could be useful. |

Another way to organize it could be price per
calorie. Or maybe better yet, price per
nutritionally complete calorie. |

Poundland, but it didn't make any difference. |
|

Poundland seems to be a single price store like the $.99 Cents Only store or Dollartree. |

I suppose if you had dollar store and five dollar and a 10 dollar store and 100 dollar store next door to each other, it would be a bit similar. but not quite. |

I have always wanted clothes store to group their clothes BY
SIZE. I mean, why should I look at stuff that is the wrong
size- I am not going to buy it and try to change size?
After I waste some time looking for my size, I usually leave
without buying anything. Then a few years later, I do it
again. - lew |

At the original J.L. Hudson store in Detroit you could buy the
same items in the basement level as on the higher floors for
lower cost. The higher floors had fancier decor. |

English pubs used to have a saloon bar and a public
bar. You paid slightly more for beer in the saloon bar,
and would get angried at by the barman if you bought
beer in the public bar and took it through to the
saloon bar. |
