A display stand has a pair of vertical standards connected by two tie members having ends vertically spaced from each other. Horizontal feet coupled to a lower end of the vertical standards project forward from the vertical standards. Two buttress rods having a lower end coupled to a projecting portion of the feet and an upper end coupled to one of the vertical standards. At least one generally horizontal display rod includes depending hooks adapted to receive goods to be displayed. Signage panels can be fixed between each of the buttress rods and the adjacent vertical standard as well as above and below the upper tie member to attract customers to the displayed goods.
