Norwegian term or phrase: brustorgene
"Brustorgene du ser i en butikk ligger det mye jobb bak."

This comes from a sales rep explaining what his/her job entails. I'm not sure if a 'brustorg' is simply a display of cans of drink, or does it mean something more specific? Another reference to the term can be found here: http://www.handelsbladetfk.no/id/20339

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
Soft drinks are not put on shelves in Norway, but rolled onto the store floor on pallets, where cases of soda is organized in a way that gives the customer access to all the kinds of soft drinks that the store sells. The pallets and cases become the shelving for the soft drinks and beer.
Torg means market square, so think about a brustorg in the same way as most stores have produce marketplaces inside. The references below are pictures showing the concept.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, Lene! I have seen similar displays in Sweden, so it makes sense now. The supermarket that the text pertains to uses pallets for their display, so I've opted for your answer. Thanks again!

Asker: Thank you for this answer, Dawn! It would be perfect if I was localising the text for a UK audience, but the assignment needs to be quite Norway-specific. If it was possible to award points to both answers, I would! :-)

neutral  Dawn Nixon: It depends on the supermarket chain. For example, I see 'Menyen' stocks soft drinks on shelves and Rema 1000 on pallets, but nonetheless, I still consider this to be a type of 'aisle'. A display denotes something much smaller to me.
