1. A merchandiser comprising: a case defining a product display area including a canopy having an electrical raceway; anda panel defining aesthetic fascia for the canopy, the panel coupled to the canopy at a pivot and movable between a first position enclosing the electrical raceway and a second position providing access to the electrical raceway, the pivot defining a pivot axis about which the panel is movable between the first position and the second position,wherein the panel is cantilevered outward and forward from the pivot adjacent a front of the canopy in the second position,wherein, in the second position, a center of gravity of the panel is located forward of the pivot axis such that the weight of the panel is configured to hold the panel in the second position without an external force being applied to the panel. 2. The merchandiser of claim 1, wherein the panel includes a first longitudinal edge pivotably coupled to the canopy and a second longitudinal edge detachably coupled to the canopy. 3. The merchandiser of claim 2, wherein the canopy defines the pivot to which the first longitudinal edge is coupled. 4. The merchandiser of claim 2, wherein the first position defines a closed position of the panel and the second position defines an open position of the panel, and wherein the panel is removable from canopy at a third position between the first position and the second position. 5. The merchandiser of claim 1, wherein the panel defines a first panel and the merchandiser includes a second panel coupled to the canopy and defining aesthetic fascia for the canopy, and wherein the first panel and the second panel cooperatively enclose the electrical raceway. 6. The merchandiser of claim 5, wherein the second panel is movable between a first position partially enclosing the electrical raceway and a second position providing access to the electrical raceway. 7. The merchandiser of claim 6, wherein in the second position, the second panel is cantilevered from the canopy. 8. The merchandiser of claim 1, wherein the electrical raceway defines a compartment configured to support the wiring structure, and wherein the second position of the panel provides access within the compartment enabling access to the wiring structure. 9. A merchandiser comprising: a case defining a product display area including a canopy defining an electrical raceway supporting wiring structure of the merchandiser;a panel defining aesthetic fascia for the canopy and coupled to the canopy at a location rearward of a front of the canopy, the panel movable forward relative to the canopy about the coupling location to a first position enclosing the electrical raceway and movable rearward from the first position to a second position providing access to the electrical raceway; andtwo support members spaced apart from each other across a front of the case,wherein the panel is pivotally coupled to and cantilevered from both support members. 10. The merchandiser of claim 9, further comprising a support member coupled to the canopy, wherein the panel is coupled to a rearward end of the support member, and wherein the panel has an over-center orientation in the second position. 11. The merchandiser of claim 9, wherein the panel includes a first longitudinal edge pivotally coupled to the canopy and a second longitudinal edge at least partially detachably coupled to the canopy forward of the pivotal coupling. 12. The merchandiser of claim 9, wherein the first position defines a closed position of the panel and the second position defines an open position of the panel, and wherein the panel is removable from the canopy at a third position between the first position and the second position. 13. The merchandiser of claim 9, wherein the canopy defines an upwardly-oriented compartment supporting the electrical raceway, and wherein at least a portion of the compartment is defined between the support members. 14. The merchandiser of claim 9, wherein the panel is a first panel and the merchandiser comprises a second panel coupled to the canopy and defining aesthetic fascia for the canopy, and wherein the panels cooperatively enclose the electrical raceway. 15. The merchandiser of claim 14, wherein the second panel is movable between a first position partially enclosing the electrical raceway and a second position providing access to the electrical raceway. 16. The merchandiser of claim 14, wherein each of the first panel and the second panel is cantilevered relative to the canopy in the respective second positions. 17. A merchandiser comprising: a case defining a product display area including a canopy and an electrical raceway supporting wiring structure of the merchandiser; anda support member coupled to the canopy and defining a pivot recess adjacent a rearward end of the support member;a panel defining aesthetic fascia for the canopy including a pivot member formed at an end of the panel, the pivot member cooperating with the pivot recess to define a pivot, the panel extending forward from the pivot in a first position to enclose the electrical raceway, the panel movable rearward about the pivot relative to the canopy from the first position to a second position to provide access to the electrical raceway, and the panel movable about the pivot forward from the second position to the first position. 18. The merchandiser of claim 17, wherein pivot member of the panel defines a first longitudinal edge pivotally coupled to the canopy about the pivot and a second longitudinal edge at least partially detachably coupled to the canopy forward of the pivot. 19. The merchandiser of claim 17, wherein the panel is a first panel and the merchandiser comprises a second panel coupled to the support member and defining aesthetic fascia for the canopy, wherein the first and second panels cooperatively enclose the electrical raceway, and wherein the first panel has an over-center orientation in the second position. 20. The merchandiser of claim 19, wherein the pivot recess is a first pivot recess, the pivot is a first pivot, and the pivot member is a first pivot member, and wherein the support member also defines a second pivot recess disposed forward of the first pivot recess, wherein the second panel includes a second pivot member formed at an end of the second panel cooperating with the second pivot recess to define a second pivot, and wherein the first panel and the second panel pivot toward each other to fully enclose the electrical raceway.
