How it works

This phrase consists of the onomatopoeic adverb ズラリ (zurari), indicating items lining up extensively and neatly, followed by the particle と. This adverbial phrase modifies the verb 並んだ (naranda), which is the past tense (or perfective aspect) of 並ぶ (narabu, to line up/be arranged). Finally, 商品 (shōhin, goods/merchandise) is a noun that the entire preceding clause modifies. The structure is [adverbial phrase] + [verb (modifier)] + [noun].
