Not all stores are same size/dimensions. One store might be 20k sq ft and another 30k. One might be shallow and wide and another narrow but deep. If aisles have to be 20 feet shorter, that obviously impacts what goes on each aisle. There may also be inventory variations based on demographics they serve… even in same city, maybe one serves a larger Latino, African-America, Jewish/Kosher, etc., socio-economic groups and such that determine product mix carried.
