A door panel covering is compartment has a “U”-shaped upper edge that pivots about door retaining pins within each compartment to allow the door to be moved from a vertical position in which the door panel covers the front of the compartment and a horizontal position in which the door panel is retracted into the compartment, suspended on door tracks within the compartment. In some embodiments, product racks positioned or attached within the compartments are configured to display products in vertical orientation. In some embodiments the panels are advertising panels imprinted with text and graphics.
