Stacked drink. Maximum cans, minimum footprint.

The math: stacked beats glass-front above $2,500/mo.

Stacked drink wins when revenue is high and SKU mix is narrow. The stacked architecture trades visual appeal for capacity — you'll restock half as often and earn more per square foot. Below ~$2,500/mo locations, glass front wins on impulse-buy variety.
