A system of modular components enables the selection and assembly of components of the system to accommodate a compact display, effective dispensing by gravity-feed, and convenient restocking of merchandise articles of different dimensions at a compact matrix of dispensing locations placed at a point-of-purchase. Selected chutes are assembled with counterpart selected left and right sidewalls for carrying merchandise articles of selected dimensions, with the lateral spacing between the sidewalls being determined by the lateral width of the selected chutes. The chutes are engaged with the sidewalls for sliding movement between a retracted position, wherein a forward end of a selected chute is placed at a corresponding dispensing location for presenting the carried merchandise articles for dispensing at the point-of-purchase, and an advanced position, wherein the selected chute is exposed adjacent a rearward end of the chute to permit access to the selected chute adjacent the rearward end from a forward position adjacent a corresponding dispensing location of the matrix of dispensing locations for enabling restocking of the selected chute directly, adjacent the rearward end of the selected chute, from the forward position.
