HELP! Grocery Store Dimensions/Sizes/Blueprints
Working on my Thesis, and after months thesisizing, I'm just now working on floor plans. It's a Grocery Cooperative in Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati. Currently, I have 30,000 sq ft of alloted space, but there's things I'm not aware of such as shelf sizes, aisle sizes, general room around check outs, storage, loading, etc. Does anyone have resources or sites that explain these limitations?
Also, has anyone worked on a grocery store and would be willing to share a blueprint? If not a CAD drawing, maybe a PDF? It's for academia, promise, and it would be subsequently destroyed after use for reference. Email me if so.
Thanks for the info!
have you tried graphic standards? I would start there....
^amazing how many ppl don't know of that book
No book on me and the libraries closed.
the libraries closed? are you trying to do a thesis overnight?
^Lemme know how that works out for you
wait, I got it...mock up a grocery isle from stuff in your cabinet,...then interpolate on isle and shelving sizes,
shelves = 6-8 cereal boxes deep
produce shelves = 10-12 oranges deep x waist height
shopping cart = shoulder width
+/-
amazon is always open.

former is better for general layouts and planning principles, latter gives excellent references for retail display dimensions.
be a freak. go to your local piggly wiggly and start pacing off dimensions. they won't let you take pictures. guaranteed. but you should be able to get basic shelf heights and aisles dims before the management kicks you out.
For gross square footage, 20-30k sounds about right for a co-op or organic grocery. A typical suburban strip mall "neighborhood" type grocery store might be 40-80k SF, newer ones being larger. A warehouse club or walmart type grocery store is 100-150k SF and up!
Sounds like you need a night time job stocking shelves.
Kroger is based in Cincinnati. Call up the HQ, ask for the facilities or engineering department and see how far you get...
hey check your email... i did some retail work on co-op these should help you out.
