A well-fixtured store speaks highly of the store brand and the respect it can command from consumers. Even simple fixtures like Pegboard Hooks can project a well-kept appearance, or a slovenly one. Here is an example of good fixturing. The hooks are venerable All Wire Scan Hook style, with modern Flip-Front Extruded Label Holders. Both are economical solutions that in this case delivered solid, predictable, good-looking results.
