Automatic-Facing Shelf Pushers in Alberta
Spring-loaded, built to your shelves, from a Canadian manufacturer since 1997
Each product slides forward the moment the one in front is taken
Depth, width and facings measured by you, made by us
Direct from the factory, no distributor in between
FRONT-FACING, ALWAYS
Cereal boxes, cheese blocks, cans of soup: the spring does the refacing, not your staff.
FEWER STORE WALKS
One person can look after more aisle when the shelves hold themselves in order between restocks.
FULL-LOOKING ROWS
A row that is half sold still reads as stocked from the aisle. No dark gaps, no products that look discontinued.
NO SITE VISIT
Send shelf depth, width, facings, number of shelves and a photo. Distance from Repentigny changes nothing.
MADE IN CANADA
Designed and manufactured by Concept P.O.S. since 1997, and sold without a middleman.
ONE AISLE, BEFORE AND AFTER
Left: rows drifting back, labels out of line, a shelf that looks short. Right: the same products, spring-loaded, front-facing from end to end.

Spring-loaded pushers, sized for Alberta retail
A shelf pusher is a track, a spring and a paddle. It sits on the shelf you already have, behind a row of product, and pushes that row forward every time a shopper takes an item. Nothing to plug in, nothing to program: the row stays tight to the front edge until the last unit is gone.
Concept P.O.S. has manufactured these automatic-facing pushers in Repentigny, Canada, since 1997. Four models cover the whole store — the Robusta for heavy packaged goods, the Prestige for pharmacy and premium shelves, the Compact for small formats and drawers, the Blizzard for coolers and freezers — and every system is cut to your shelf depth, your product width and the number of facings you want.
We ship to Alberta. The distance between Repentigny and Red Deer is not a problem for a custom order: the quote form asks for your measurements and a photo of the aisle, and the team comes back with a proposal. Here is what those pushers hold in place, market by market.

Why big-format stores put springs behind their shelves
Stores here tend to be big, and staff tend to be stretched: long aisles, wide categories, and a lot of ground to cover between restocks. A pusher takes one job off the list — refacing — and does it continuously, on every shelf it sits on.
Front-facing without the walk
Every time a product leaves the shelf, the next one takes its place at the front. The label, the brand and the price stay where the shopper expects them, aisle after aisle.
Less handling per shelf
No more pulling stock forward by hand between deliveries. Restock from the back, let the spring take over, and move on to the next section.
Shelves that sell when they are half empty
Four packages lined up at the front look like a full shelf. Twelve packages scattered toward the back look like a shortage. The spring makes the first picture the permanent one.
Cooler and fresh case: yogurt, cheese, salads and deli meats
Open coolers are the hardest shelves to keep tidy in a large-format store. Yogurt cups drift, cheese blocks and bags of shredded cheese slide flat, packaged deli meats and cold cuts stack on each other, and clamshell salads and ready-to-eat vegetables end up at the back where nobody sees them.
The Blizzard is built for that environment: a pusher meant for coolers and freezers, with a price molding integrated into its front edge, in black or white. It suits the self-serve packaged meat of a butcher shop and the vacuum-packed fillets of a fish market as much as a supermarket dairy wall.
Centre-store grocery: cereal, snacks, cans, sauces and spices
Centre-store is where the formats collide: cereal boxes and oatmeal packets, granola bars and bags of chips, canned vegetables and soups, sauce and condiment bottles, cooking oils, spice jars, cake and dessert mixes. Each package has its own weight and its own way of tipping over.
The Robusta handles packaged goods across that whole range, heavy and bulky ones included, in depths up to 24 in., with a spring or a pull-tab. Grocery stores across Alberta run it on family-size cans and on small jars alike, with dividers keeping every row in its lane. For the full aisle, see our grocery and food page.
Beverages and frozen: cans, bottles, pizzas and prepared meals
Cans, bottles and juice cartons move faster than almost anything else on the floor, and nowhere faster than in a gas-bar convenience store on a summer weekend. A row of cans without a pusher is hollow within the hour; with a spring behind it, the last can stands exactly where the first one did. The Robusta takes single-serve and multi-pack formats alike.
Frozen aisles carry pizzas, prepared meals, frozen vegetables and desserts in packages that vary in size from one brand to the next. The Blizzard, with its clear front, keeps them visible and front-facing inside the freezer. Alberta winters are not what matters here — the temperature inside the unit is, and the Blizzard is validated for it with you before the order ships.
Pharmacy and personal care: deodorants, hair colour, cosmetics and tobacco
Pharmacy shelves hold hundreds of small, high-value items — stick deodorants, hair colour boxes, cosmetics, skin care — and a pharmacy loses real margin every time one of them is knocked flat or pushed out of sight. The Prestige is the premium answer: translucent, 2 or 4 in. dividers, 12, 14 or 16 in. depths.
Behind the counter, cigarettes and tobacco products live in drawers and tight shelving where the Compact fits: clear, spring-only, with slim dividers that keep each pack in its own lane. Convenience stores here also use it for small over-the-counter medicine boxes and checkout cosmetics.
Hardware, farm and specialty retail across the province
Outside food, the same springs do the same work. Hardware stores put them behind screw boxes, tapes and small packaged tools; pet stores behind treat pouches and cans of pet food; auto parts stores behind filters and boxed parts; toy stores behind boxed and hook-packaged items. Micro-markets in office towers and convenience stores on rural routes use them for anything sold by the unit. Boxed and bottled household cleaning products work too — large liquid jugs are organized with dividers, not pushed.
Advertising and marketing agencies come to us for a different reason: they design a campaign display, we manufacture the pushers and components that keep it standing on the shelf. And supermarkets and big-box stores across the province often end up running all four models under one roof, cooler to checkout.
What goes on the shelf with the pusher
Equipping a wall of shelving in a large-format store is a parts list, not a single product. Concept P.O.S. makes every item on that list, so one order covers the aisle.
The pusher itself
Robusta, Prestige, Compact or Blizzard, chosen by what sits in front of it: heavy packaged goods, small high-value items, drawer stock or refrigerated product. Each one is cut to your shelf depth and product width.
Dividers between rows
A divider keeps the row of granola bars from leaking into the row of chips. It is also what you use for the products a pusher should leave alone — large jugs and bulk containers stay organized without being pushed.
Label holders and price moldings
The label holder rides on the shelf edge or on the pusher's front plate, so the price travels with the product. Price-display moldings — self-adhesive, slide-in or flexible — finish the edge of the shelf, the basket or the wire grid, and the Blizzard carries its own molding built in.
Standard parts, shipped from stock
Accessories, moldings and replacement components are in the online store, ready to ship west without a custom quote.
Serving Alberta from Repentigny
Concept P.O.S. is a Canadian manufacturer based in Repentigny, near Montreal, since 1997. Our line is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern — that is 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Mountain time, so an Alberta store can reach the plant before its own morning rush. Service is available in English and French.
Custom work is done at a distance, and it always has been. You measure the depth and width of the shelf, count the facings and the shelves, take a photo, and fill out the form. Our team sizes the system, picks the model and returns a quote. Equipping several stores under one banner follows the same path.
We ship to Alberta, and we also carry the standard parts you will find in the online store: accessories, moldings and replacement components.
Five things a big store gets back
In a store with long aisles and a lean crew, a spring behind every row pays for itself in ways you can see from the floor.
Fewer lost sales at the back of the shelf
Product that stays at the front edge gets picked up. Product that slides back gets skipped, even when there is plenty of it.
Hours of refacing given back to the crew
Nobody walks the aisle pulling stock forward. Deliveries go in from the back, the spring does the rest, and staff time goes to customers and restocking.
A price that never wanders from its product
Label holder, molding and pusher move as one unit, so the tag stays in front of the right row after every restock.
One maker for the whole shelf
Pushers, dividers, label holders and moldings from the same plant, which keeps a chain of stores looking the same from Lethbridge to Fort McMurray.
Custom dimensions without a site visit
Shelf depth, width, facings, shelf count and a photo are all the plant needs to build to your fixture.
Work with Concept P.O.S. on your shelves
Supermarket, pharmacy, gas-bar convenience store, hardware store or a chain of all of them: our automatic-facing pushers fit the shelves you have and the products you sell. Tell us about the aisle, send a photo, and we will propose the right model.

Spring-loaded pushers in Alberta: frequently asked questions
Do you ship to Alberta?
Yes. Concept P.O.S. manufactures its pushers in Repentigny, Canada, and ships them across the province, for a single store or a chain.
Which pusher for cereal boxes, cheese blocks or stick deodorants?
Cereal boxes and other dry-grocery packages go on the Robusta. Cheese blocks sit in a cooler, which calls for the Blizzard. Stick deodorants and pharmacy cosmetics belong to the Prestige, or to the Compact in drawers and very tight shelving.
How do you build custom without coming to the store?
The quote form asks for the shelf depth and width, the number of facings, the number of shelves and a photo of the aisle. With those five things our team sizes the system and picks the model, wherever the store is.
What time can I reach you from Alberta?
The plant answers Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern, which is 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Mountain time, in English or French.
Spring or pull-tab?
The Robusta and the Prestige come in both mechanisms. The Compact is spring-only. For the Blizzard, talk to our team: the configuration is validated against your refrigerated environment.
