Have 不等 at the end of the sentence also makes it much more authentic. Without, it sounds a little odd in Chinese, even though the meaning is not changed.
What does "不等“ add in 从A到B不等?
So, I just learned this grammar. For example, I know that we can say
这个商店的价格从五十元到五千元不等。
But, I thought I could also say
这个商店的价格从五十元到五千元。
What does 不等 add to the sentence? Does it slightly change the meaning? Does it make it more colloquial?

不等in Chinese means variety. If you add it to the sentence actually make it more academic /official.
