To improve convenience by detaching only a commodity guide.SOLUTION: A commodity column 50 comprises a spiral 55 configured in a mode of being wound in spiral along an extending direction of a commodity storage path 45 in the commodity storage path 45 extending along a front-back direction, and dispenses commodities in the forefront by carrying out commodities held between respective pitches of the spiral 55 gradually forward when the spiral 55 rotates around a central axis. The commodity column includes a commodity guide 60 extending along the front-back direction in a mode of being inserted through the inside of the spiral 55 and placing the commodity on its upper surface. The commodity guide 60 is installed in such a manner that a front end 615 is attached to a front end portion (front frame 311) of a base 30 constituting a bottom surface of the commodity storage path 45, while a rear end 60a is placed on a part of the spiral 55 in a mode that it can slide against a part of the spiral 55.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】商品ガイドだけを着脱させることにより利便性の向上を図ること。【解決手段】前後方向に沿って延在する商品収納通路４５に、商品収納通路４５の延在方向に沿って螺旋状に巻回される態様で構成されたスパイラル５５を備え、スパイラル５５が中心軸回りに回転する場合に、スパイラル５５の各ピッチ間に拘束された商品を漸次前方に向けて搬出して最前の商品を払い出す商品コラム５０であって、スパイラル５５の内部を挿通する態様で前後方向に沿って延在し、かつ上面に商品を載置させる商品ガイド６０を備え、この商品ガイド６０は、前端部６１５が商品収納通路４５の底面を構成するベース３０の前端部分（前枠部３１１）に取り付けられる一方、後端部６０ａがスパイラル５５の一部と摺接可能となる態様で該スパイラル５５の一部に載置された状態で設置されている。【選択図】図１１
