Small Store, Big Design: Pavey’s C-Store Teams Up with DGS Retail in Indiana
Nov 3rd 2025
In Milroy, Indiana, Pavey’s Convenience Store has long been a community staple—serving travelers, locals, and families on the go. When it came time to refresh their store layout, Pavey’s wanted something more than just new fixtures. They wanted a space that looked fresh, functioned better, and helped boost customer experience from the moment shoppers walked through the door.
That’s where DGS Retail came in. With decades of experience in C-Store shelving, signage, and free store design services, our team worked with Pavey’s to create a clean, modern store that’s as inviting as it is efficient.
Bringing Warmth and Functionality Together
At the heart of the redesign was the introduction of the Lozier Gondola Shelving Island Unit with Wood Slatwall. These sleek, wood-accented gondola displays combine the durability of metal shelving with the warmth of wood slatwall, creating a modern-meets-rustic look perfect for today’s C-Store environment.
Each Lozier shelving system gives store owners the flexibility to merchandise multiple product categories—snacks, beverages, or local goods—without sacrificing visual appeal. The wooden slatwall backing adds texture and depth, helping products pop while maintaining a clean, premium presentation.
This hybrid shelving design doesn’t just look good—it improves product visibility and foot traffic flow, leading to a more intuitive shopping experience for customers and higher sales potential for owners.
Flexible Display Solutions for Everyday Merchandising
To complement the gondola shelving, Pavey’s incorporated Wood Slat Display Shelves with Ticket Channel. These versatile add-ons make it easy to highlight promotions, seasonal items, or top sellers while keeping product labeling clean and consistent.
With their natural wood finish and integrated ticket channel, these shelves are perfect for stores that want a professional look without constant upkeep. They snap neatly into place on gondola uprights, allowing quick resets or remerchandising as inventory changes. It’s one of the simplest ways to keep a store layout feeling fresh—without a full renovation.
Together, these wood display fixtures helped Pavey’s blend small-town charm with modern retail efficiency—creating a space that feels both comfortable and current.
Design Inspiration for Small Retailers
For Pavey’s, this project wasn’t just about new shelving—it was about rethinking what a small retail space can do. With the help of DGS Retail’s Free Store Design Service, the team mapped out a layout that improves flow, increases product visibility, and enhances the customer journey from start to finish.
Whether you’re running a grocery store, C-Store, boutique, or liquor shop, these same design principles apply: choose fixtures that tell your brand’s story, highlight your products effectively, and make your customers feel at home.
With Lozier gondola shelving and custom signage, you can elevate your space without the high cost or complexity of a full remodel.
