Pharmacy chains should size opening eyewear inventory by fixture tier and store profile rather than use one unit count across the network.
A Major Frames 132-pair floor display can use a 160-pair opening model, while lower-volume stores may use smaller counter formats and lower quantities.
Opening allocation should reflect
- store volume
- reader-power breadth and demographic demand
- local sunglass seasonality
- supplier lead time
- fixture capacity
Use pilot stores to correct the model
Track stockouts, reorders, aging, and service by location before expanding the same opening quantities across the network.
