Large distribution warehouses, such as FrigiServe, serve retail (grocery) or institutional food customers in major metro markets or regions. In addition to providing storage and distribution services, we provide product handling services primarily involving refrigerated or frozen packaged goods. Cold storage facilities (often known as refrigerated warehouses) manage inventory and handle value-added storage primarily for frozen foods.

Cold Storage For Grocery Stores Still In Demand

In comparison with other retail categories, grocery shopping online is still a young phenomenon. In the U.S., only 3% of grocery purchases are made online, compared to 20% and 40% of footwear and consumer electronics purchases online, respectively.

It is difficult to replicate the in-store grocery shopping experience in a digital platform, so U.S. consumers tend to shop in person for food. According to a survey conducted by Bain & Company and Google, 25% of respondents used an online grocery service in the past year. Only 26% of those users, or 6% of all consumers, reported ordering more than once a month.
