Why It Matters
- Your front end = prime real estate for impulse buys.
- 5-hour ENERGY delivers higher profit per inch than candy, gum, or snacks.
Stocking the right flavors ensures every slot earns its keep.
Quick Wins for Your Store
Follow the “Fix the Mix” flavor plan
- Prioritize proven top sellers: Grape Extra Strength, Berry Extra Strength, Blue Raspberry Extra Strength.
- Eliminate slow movers that tie up valuable space.
Right-Size Your Assortment — Watch Your Sales Climb
Your rack size matters. The right assortment can turn a good display into a front-end profit powerhouse:
- 3-Flavor Rack (“Essentials”)
Stock only the top three sellers and gain +3.6 bottles/week — that’s about $281 extra profit each year from just three flavors.
- 15-Flavor Rack (“Super Sellers”)
Go all-in on variety and performance — delivers +9.6 bottles/week, or about $750 in extra annual profit from the same display space.
Bottom line: More flavors = more reasons to buy, and the numbers prove it.
Keep racks full & clean
- Restock daily — empty slots = lost sales.
Position for easy eye-level reach at checkout.


Pro Tip
Front-end customers make decisions in 8 seconds or less — a clean, well-stocked rack with the right flavors wins the sale before they reach the register.
