DNS Industries builds millwork and fixtures for grocery stores and supermarkets: café and service counters, checkout and self-checkout millwork, wall panels and bulkheads, department fixtures and beer and wine displays. The millwork is drafted and built in our Vaughan, Ontario plant and installed by our own crews or, where a site requires union labour or is far from Vaughan, through our installation partners.
What we build for grocery stores
- Café, bakery and deli service counters, with stone or solid surface tops and sneeze guards
- Checkout and self-checkout millwork, and seating areas
- Wall panels, feature walls and bulkhead panels
- Entrance millwork and customer service desks
- Beer and wine displays for Ontario grocery and convenience stores
- Washroom counters and back-of-house casework
Built around the equipment
Grocery counters house refrigeration and food-service equipment, so the drawings start from the equipment schedule. Our shop drawings lay out open bays and cut-outs for under-counter coolers, ice bins, rinsers and display cases, and we check them against the final equipment specifications before anything is cut.
Made for traffic and cleaning
Supermarket millwork takes carts, mops and daily wipe-downs. We choose the laminate grade for each surface by how it will be used, use solid surface where tops need to be seamless and repairable, and add stainless-steel kick bases where floors are washed.
Working to an opening date
Grocery fit-outs run on a fixed opening date with many trades on site. We send shop drawings early for review by the general contractor, architect and designer, then plan fabrication and installation around the contractor’s schedule aiming to have the millwork in before stocking starts.
Recent grocery work
For a 66,000 sq ft supermarket conversion in North York, which opened in October 2026, we drafted, built and installed the café counter, wall panels and bulkheads, entrance millwork, self-checkout seating millwork and a washroom counter. Read the case study.
Frequently asked questions
What does supermarket fixture installation include?
It covers setting and fastening the counters, wall panels and millwork, connecting them to the equipment openings, and fitting tops, sneeze guards and trim. We install with our own crews, or through installation partners where a site requires union labour or is far from Vaughan, coordinated with the general contractor’s schedule.
Do you supply refrigerated cases or shelving gondolas?
No. We build the millwork around them. Refrigeration and gondola shelving come from their own suppliers, and our drawings are coordinated to their specifications.
Can you work in an operating store?
Tell us the store’s hours and access rules when you send drawings, and we will plan the delivery and install around them.
