Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Layout for Retail Produce Operations Good layout of a retail produce department saves construction and operating costs, reduces spoilage, and assists in selling produce. Thereby it holds down the cost of marketing farm products. Principles developed by researchers in this study are designed to assist operators in preparing produce layouts that will achieve the most effective use of work methods, equipment, and materials consistent with maximum sales potential and product protection. Produce depart ments remodeled in seven stores in accordance with the principles in this te port were able to improve their dollar sales per man-hour by 15 to 88 percent. Previous publications have reported on improved procedures for receiving, storing, trimming, packaging, pricing, and displaying produce. This report provides the procedure for utilizing these prescribed improvements in an overall produce layout.
