Keep the gondolas. Replace what is actually failing you.
The gondolas on your floor are structurally fine. The pegboard in them is what limits what you can merchandise. NuPanel drops 1″ aluminum slatwall into the same bay in about a minute — no fixture replacement, no rebuild, no closed aisle for a week.
The idea, in one drawing
Same gondola. Different back. Ten times the merchandising options.
Pegboard limits you to a hook. A 1″ on-center aluminum slat takes hooks, shelves, brackets and faceouts, and carries over 50 lbs per linear foot doing it.
Why retrofit
The maths of not replacing your fixtures.
The gondola is not the problem
Uprights and bases outlast several merchandising cycles. Replacing a whole run to change the merchandising surface means paying for structure you already own — and losing the aisle while it happens.
Pegboard caps what you can sell
A pegboard back means hooks, and hooks mean light product. A 1″ slat takes shelves, brackets and faceouts at over 50 lbs per linear foot, so a bay can carry categories it previously could not.
A minute a section scales
At roughly a minute per bay with a clip system and no drilling, a retrofit fits inside overnight windows. That is what makes it viable across a multi-location rollout rather than one flagship.
Three panel types
Back of the bay, end of the run, and the bit that extends it.
Replaces the pegboard back of a standard gondola bay. This is the workhorse of the system.

1″ on center is the densest spacing Megawall makes. On a gondola bay that matters more than anywhere else: shelf and hook positions land almost exactly where the planogram wants them rather than at the nearest 3″.

Anodized as standard.
NuPanel ships anodized. Where a programme needs a colour, the same powder-coat options as the aluminum slatwall system apply.
