Abstract An improved system for supporting a bundle of bags for easy access and loading adjacent the checkout area of a store which includes a first support member adapted to support a bundle of bags that is composed of an elongated substantially horizontally disposed member mounted beneath the countertop of a checkout area so that a substantial portion of said bundle of bags can be out of view beneath the countertop, a second support member adapted to support one handle of a bag, said first and second support members being mounted at a spaced distance apart from each other adjacent the checkout area, which distance generally corresponds to the width of a bag in its open position, the inner ends of said support members having enlarged configurations which serve to hold the opposite handle portions of a bag so that the bag will remain in an open position during a loading operation.
