I'm printing and bringing to work tomorrow. I hear the women groaning, but that isn't commercial problem.

"Initially it was a joke," George Zoitas, owner of the Westside Market (http://www.wmarketnyc.com/) on 110th Street and Broadway, told CBS radio (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/07/26/upper-west-side-grocery-store-unveils-man-aisle/). "We were tossing around an idea about maybe making a man section with everything a man would need, whatever men buy."
Zoitas and Ian Joskowitz, the store's chief operating officer, decided to put their man-fantasy to the test. The "Man Isle," unveiled Wednesday, includes everything men need, from beer to barbecue sauce.
That would be beef jerky, condoms and razors, among other dude-specific sundries.
"Get ready to stock up your man cave!" the New York Post exclaimed (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/aisle_of_man_hyD0HOaHHrn434YzfM5CTP).
The shelves are stocked with Doritos, Stubbs marinades, assorted salsas and Poland Spring--which is all men really need to survive.
"Guys don't like taking lists when they go shopping," Zoitas added. "This helps them remember what they need."
Zoitas hopes to expand the man aisle-program to other Westside Market locations in Manhattan and New Jersey.
And you should expect to see "man aisles" popping up in stores across the country. According to a 2011 survey of 1,000 fathers conducted by Yahoo and DB5, a market research firm, 51 percent said they were the primary grocery shoppers in their household.
