Press Release Summary = Retailers feeling crunched for square footage turn to space
savers like cash register stands to make the most out of their available space.

Press Release Body = ST. LOUIS, MO - One of the biggest problems for most
independent retailers is space- or more accurately, the lack of it. As a result,
many are abandoning the large store counters of the past for simpler, smaller space
saving cash register stands instead.

Cash register stands give retailers the professional presence of a traditional
checkout counter, without taking excessive space that could better be used to
display additional products or allow for more free flowing in-store traffic. Most
cash register stands have a flat front with shelving in the back where retailers
still have space to store essentials.

"For some retailers, it's important to have a large and long countertop checkout
area in the front of the store," said Nu-Era's Jim Minard. "But for retailers whose
situation has sort of forced them to value space over presence, a cash register
stand can be a very valuable consideration."

Minard is the VP of Sales and Marketing for Nu-Era, one of the largest US-based
providers of retail store fixtures and supplies. The company sells a wide range of
retail necessities, including cash register stands, for retailers of all sizes.

According to Minard, cash register stands are also very popular among seasonal
retailers, including garden retailers and produce and pumpkin farms across the
country. Cash register stands work well in this environment because they are
portable, they take up very little space when in use, and they' extremely easy to
store.

Minard also suggests that retailers who are short on space look to other areas of
their store for solutions as well. There are a number of product display solutions
that, if implemented creatively, will allow them to make the most of their available
space.
