Describe the two types of retail store layouts, explain the advantages of each, and identify the kind of store in which you would expect to find each layout type used

What will be an ideal response?

A grid layout consists of rows of neatly spaced shelves that are at right angles or parallel to one another. The grid layout is used in supermarkets and discount stores. It helps move a large volume of shoppers systematically through the store, making sure that a majority of shoppers pass by high-margin sections. A free-flow layout has the merchandise arranged in circles or arches–sometimes assigning different areas of the store their own image and merchandise mix. This layout is commonly found in department stores and specialty stores. This type of layout encourages browsing.
