1. A pusher merchandising system adapted to be attached to a shelf for displaying merchandise items at a forward edge of the shelf comprising:

  • a) a shelf attachment portion that is shaped and configured to attach to a forward edge of a merchandise shelf, the shelf attachment portion includinga base extending essentially in a plane defined by a first direction essentially parallel to the shelf surface and perpendicularly to a front shelf edge and by a second direction extending essentially perpendicular to the shelf surface when the shelf attachment portion is attached to the shelf for operation, the base having a front attachment wall extending essentially vertically from the plane of the base and being configured to be disposed at a proximal edge of said base closest to the forward edge of the shelf when the shelf attachment portion is attached to the shelf, the front attachment wall including base engagement teeth protruding essentially horizontally from the front attachment wall in the first direction,an intermediate base section of the base connected to the front attachment wall, andan upraised plateau removed from the vertically extending front attachment wall and extending essentially in the second direction and raised above the intermediate base section;

    b) a divider portion including a divider block having a proximal end and a distal end, at least one surface extending horizontally substantially between the proximal and distal ends, an essentially planar divider extending outwardly from the divider block essentially perpendicularly to the divider block one surface and an attachment means disposed at said proximal end adapted for connection to said attachment portion; and

    c) an elongate pusher track, the pusher track having a longitudinally extending base, a proximal end and a distal end defining a track direction, at least one pusher surface extending substantially between the proximal and distal ends the pusher surface extending laterally beyond the base thereby defining a cantilevered extension at each lateral edge of the pusher surface, and an attachment means disposed at said proximal end adapted for connection to said attachment portion;

    d) a pusher member having a connecting base and a facing pushing surface extending therefrom, the connecting base including a pusher base connection mechanism for cooperation with the cantilevered extension of said pusher track to maintain the pushing face oriented in a direction essentially perpendicular to the track direction.
