Shelf Service Luxembourg: Market leader in merchandising in an atypical and hyper-dynamic market

8 min June 26, 2025

Almost every day, the population of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg grows by around 50%, driven by a steady stream of cross-border commuters from Belgium, France, and Germany. Whether they come to work or to shop, this influx of commuters makes Luxembourg an ideal testing ground for brands looking for volume. Based on this observation, Shelf Service has developed merchandising solutions perfectly tailored to this unique and vibrant market.

Focus on Gas Stations: a strategic network for in-store marketing

Luxembourg has a very specific retail network, in which the gas station segment plays a central role. These gas station outlets are not just simple fuel stops—they are true consumer hubs. While refueling, customers also purchase tobacco, alcohol, coffee, or snacks, making gas stations the first point of contact between brands and consumers, whether they are commuters or local residents. The volumes are so significant that some gas stations generate higher turnover than traditional supermarkets.

Local presence since 2008

Active in the Benelux region, Shelf Service quickly understood that physical presence on Luxembourgish territory was essential for fast and efficient service. That’s why a fully independent local subsidiary was established in 2008, with its own offices and a central logistics depot in Windhof, close to the capital.

Unlike competitors operating from abroad, Shelf Service prioritizes genuine proximity. The team consists of 20 employees who live in the Grand Duchy or in the surrounding border regions. This ensures great flexibility, short response times, and deep knowledge of the local reality. Our teams are fluent in all languages spoken in Luxembourg, enabling smooth communication with all stakeholders. This is an added advantage that makes Shelf Service Luxembourg a key partner for brands aiming to establish themselves in this unique market.

Services tailored to the Luxembourg market

Each month, Shelf Service teams visit over 450 gas stations across the country. This is in addition to full coverage of the retail network, including stores such as Cactus, Delhaize, Auchan, and Leclerc. Services range from traditional merchandising (restocking, POS materials, labeling, etc.) to on-site marketing activities (sampling, tasting, activation, etc.).

What makes Luxembourg so unique? Everything happens on a small scale,but at high intensity. This demands efficient logistics, near-instant reactivity, and teams ready to act day and night. That’s why Shelf Service also offers night-time interventions—an ideal solution in a country where stores are often hard to access during the day.

Local anchoring: a strategic advantage

Legislation requires that field teams be employed under Luxembourg contracts. This is a detail often overlooked by foreign competitors, but one that Shelf Service strictly adheres to. Compliance with local laws, combined with a modern vehicle fleet, a secured storage depot, and flawless scheduling, allows us to intervene at record speed.
