From Orchard to Aisle: Leo’s Market Elevates Everyday Shopping
May 20th 2025
Leo’s Market and Eatery is ushering in a new era of local grocery shopping in Indiana with an eye-catching in-store refresh. Known for championing community values and wholesome foods, Leo’s is now elevating its customer experience through a blend of timeless style and practical merchandising solutions. Their latest additions—crafted by DGS Retail—feature beautifully constructed wooden display units, versatile shelving, and intuitive signage that make shopping smoother, more enjoyable, and visually memorable.
Let’s take a look at the standout upgrades making their debut in Leo’s newest stores.
Classic Wood Produce Display Orchard Bins: Where Farmhouse Meets Function
At the heart of Leo’s produce and bakery departments are the Classic Wood Produce Display Orchard Bins, offered in a set of three modular sizes. These bins blend rustic, farmers market appeal with commercial-grade durability—each one supporting up to 300 lbs.
Made from solid wood and reinforced with internal steel brackets, these bins do more than just display produce—they create a sensory-rich, abundant marketplace environment. Beneath the countertop surface, built-in shelving enables clever cross-merchandising. Imagine caramel sauce displayed under fresh apples, soup mixes beneath garden vegetables, or wine nestled next to crusty loaves of Italian bread.
Whether used individually or in show-stopping "H" and "J" configurations, these bins allow store designers to craft focal points that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Wood Vintage Orchard Bins with Casters: Mobile, Modular, and Timeless
Taking rustic appeal a step further, Leo’s is also rolling out the Wood Vintage Orchard Display Bins with Casters—a versatile, mobile fixture that channels the character of an old-world farmers crate. Built from rough-sawn pine and outfitted with industrial-style black casters (two with locks), these display bins are ready to move with the needs of the store.
The black steel handles and corner protectors add to the vintage aesthetic while maintaining rugged durability. Each of the three bin sizes comes with a washable black ABS liner, perfect for produce, baked goods, or seasonal items.
From inside the bakery to outdoor sidewalk displays, these mobile bins let Leo’s Market react quickly to shifting product needs while maintaining a cohesive, rustic store identity.
Wood Bread Display Shelves: Rustic Charm for Gondola Shelving
To complement these freestanding fixtures, Leo’s is also introducing Wood Bread Display Shelves with Tag Molding into their gondola shelving systems. These versatile wood slatted shelves are inspired by traditional bread cooling racks and can be positioned flat or at a downward angle (17° or 30°) for optimal product visibility.
Designed to fit standard 36” gondola units, the shelves are supported by a black steel sub-structure and feature a built-in spruce price tag molding, allowing staff to easily insert standard signage or pricing strips. From crusty loaves and pastries to boutique items or seasonal gifts, these shelves add warmth and authenticity to any aisle.
Heavy Duty Gondola Aisle Sign Holders: Wayfinding Made Easy
To tie it all together, Leo’s has installed adjustable gondola aisle sign holders—ensuring that style doesn’t compromise store navigation. These black steel sign holders attach directly to shelving end caps, with adjustable height (22"–32") and a rotating mount for customizable placement.
By reducing the need for staff to direct customers through the aisles, these signs improve efficiency and enhance the shopper’s independence. It’s a subtle upgrade that speaks volumes about Leo’s commitment to customer-centric design.
A Look Ahead: Creating a Signature Shopping Experience
From produce bins that encourage exploration to bread shelves that evoke old-world bakeries, Leo’s Market and Eatery is transforming everyday grocery shopping into an experience rooted in warmth, clarity, and local charm. These new fixtures reflect a growing trend in retail: to merge aesthetics and utility in ways that make shopping feel more personal and delightful.
Whether you’re shopping for farm-fresh apples, local pastries, or dinner ingredients, your trip to Leo’s now includes the added treat of a visually rich, thoughtfully curated environment.
