Some things to consider initially
Before you decide on your ideal solution, it’s best to evaluate your environment first. How big of a space do you have to work with? Perhaps you need a larger system to span the majority of your shop floor and include a plethora of products. Or maybe you need something smaller to simply display your finest products to customers, as you have the ability to access a larger stock at the back of the store?
The arrangement and intended use for your refrigerator should be your first considerations before you move on with the process.
Display fridges
Display fridges can usually be found in a large supermarket due to their substantial size and efficient arrangement. Many large supermarket chains opt for this kind of refrigerated storage due to its ability to store a wide variety of items that need to be kept at a specific, refrigerated temperature. In these kinds of wide display fridges, you will usually find dairy products, or grab and go products such as meal deals and/or ready meals.
There are many options to choose from when it comes to the appearance of your display fridge. They can be double-doored or completely open, depending on your needs. A double-doored fridge is more useful if it’s vital that your product is kept at a specific temperature, whereas an open unit will make your products easier to access.
Refrigerated display cabinet
If you’re looking for a refrigerator for a more intimate setting, then look no further than a refrigerated display cabinet. They are normally housed in more specialist areas of larger supermarkets or at pop up shops that are much smaller in size. They can also be the perfect solution for chains that serve specific chilled goods, including butchers and bakers for example. Refrigerated display cabinets are different to display fridges as they look to keep products out of the reach of customers, and usually focus more on encouraging the presentation of products, rather than their accessibility. This is why you will often find these cabinets acting as under-counter solutions that allow the customer to make their request directly to a member of staff.
Cake and dessert shops usually prefer to utilise a refrigerated display cabinet to advertise their products in a way that makes them look as good as they taste!
Walk in cold room
A walk in cold room is a different option from the fridges listed above, but performs the same function, and is something we specialise in here at J&M Refrigeration. Although a walk in cold room can’t be accessed by customers, it performs an excellent job in keeping your products chilled and in optimum condition. Whilst they are usually seen more in restaurant settings, they can be a useful addition to anywhere that produces its own food for customers, keeping ingredients cool and ready to be used at any point.
