Question

Hi please help.

We have got apples over by the front.

It means " close to the front?

Answer

‘Over by’ means ‘next to’ (but yes it could also be more generally near to).

Answer

It means "by".  I can't think of any example using "over by" where the word "over" serves an important purpose.  All it does, as far as I can tell, is make a statement more vague, conversational, and possibly place additional emphasis on a direction of motion.  "Over" in such contexts is similar to "yonder":

"The apples are yonder by the front."
