All product location is governed by Corporate who identify foot fall within the store and identify the best location for product sales. Did you ever wonder why you have to go yo the back of thr store for milk? It is so you kight be tempted to purchase an additional item. There is an entire study on the psychology of product location do please do not blame the store manager. The direction come from a much higher executive.
Managers only have so much to do with placement. Alot of it is done by other departments, like marketing. They get planograms and have to set it by the planograms or the can get in trouble as corporate and vendors check placement.
