An End Cap is a permanent fixture located at the end of the aisle. Typically there is at least one (1) Side Wing attached to it. As a valued Supplier Partner, we understand the importance of maximizing the profitable Depending on the store, some End Caps will have two (2). sales of your items within our stores.

To assist you in this endeavor we have created a catalog for all of our current supplier-funded off-shelf programs.

The fixtures that make up these programs provide merchandising consistency throughout our 2466 stores despite the variations in our store sizes and layouts. NOTE: Store counts listed above are reflected as of July 29th, 2019.

Each off-shelf fixture is assigned a designated location and display period which is communicated to our stores through the Rite Aid Merchandising Presentation department via a Profit Plan or Planogram.

Please review this catalog and discuss with your Rite Aid Category Manager the display vehicle you feel best fits your merchandising needs.

Thank you.
