1. A retail merchandise tray for storing products therein, comprising:
- a pair of opposed load bearing members configured to mount the merchandise tray to a support structure;
a front stop wall mounted to the pair of load bearing members;
a wire support frame having opposed first and second ends, the wire support frame removably attached at the first end to the front stop wall and removably attached at the second end to the pair of load bearing members;
a pusher mounted to the wire support frame, the pusher movable along the wire support frame toward and away from the front stop wall along a first axis;
at least one divider assembly movable relative to the pair of opposed load bearing members along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis to adjust a width of the retail merchandise tray, wherein the at least one divider assembly includes a divider wall;
a pair of spacers extending perpendicular relative to the first axis and interposed between the pair of load bearing members below the wire support frames;
a baffle bottom plate connected to the pair of spacers, wherein the baffle bottom plate is below the pair of spacers, the baffle bottom plate including a pair of clips extending upwardly therefrom, wherein one clip of the pair of clips grasps one spacer of the pair of spacers, and the other clip of the pair of clips grasps the other spacer of the pair of spacers in order to secure the baffle bottom plate to the retail merchandise tray;
wherein the front stop wall, the wire support frame, and each divider wall define borders to confine the products within the retail merchandise tray.
