The present study examined how product placement and in‐store advertisement affect food
selections of approximately 100,000 customers across 2 different stores using an alternating
treatments design embedded in a multiple baseline design. Our results documented a
substantial increase in the sales of healthy food products and a concurrent decrease in the
sales of less healthy items via simple environmental modifications. These data suggest an
effective means of altering unhealthy food choices at store checkouts.
