Abstract: A shopping cart storage station for installation in a parking lot or other large area has an end frame and a first elongate side wall assembly connected to the end structure's first side leg, and a second elongate side wall assembly connected to the end structure's second side leg. A plastic bumper panel is mounted on each of the first and second side wall metal frames for minimizing damage caused by impact with a moving object. Upwardly projecting frames are located at the front of the station, coplanar with each bumper. The upwardly projecting frames bear signs at the top, and are joined by an overhead front cross bar.
