Abstract

A shelf assembly (10) for merchandising a plurality of products (47) comprising a shelf (22) and a plurality of pushers (45) engaged with the shelf (22) for urging products (47) forwardly. Each pusher (45) is made of a flexible material having a memory characteristic which biases the pusher (45) into a generally planar orientation from an inverted U-shaped configuration between product (47) and a rear edge (28) of the shelf (22). The pushers (45) may be individually formed or an integral part of a single sheet of material. The pushers (45) may have tabs (62, 64) adapted to slidably engage slots (60) in the shelf (22).
