Island coolers are refrigerated cabinets that give customers quick and easy access to products in the cooling aisle. They are easy to recognize with their unique design with glass walls on all four sides. Island coolers are great for driving impulse purchases of chilled ingredients, snacks, beverages, and “grab and go” meals. These cabinets are therefore also sometimes referred to as impulse coolers. Another term occasionally used is mobile coolers, as island coolers tend to be on castors for flexibility.

Customers buy with their eyes, and numerous studies have found that when consumers see products they want and have easy access to the goods in question, it makes it easier for them to reach in and buy.

Mobile island coolers are therefore perfect for driving impulse purchases. They are great for stocking up on best-selling pre-packaged foods and ingredients but can also be used to create mouth-watering displays of sandwiches, desserts and other ‘grab and go’ menu items.

Our refrigerated island coolers are usually found in supermarkets, grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, cafes, and takeaways – the type of environments where fast service and customer convenience is essential.

They provide impressively large storage and merchandising space, helping to reduce the time it takes to restock while always having plenty of products on display for maximum visibility. Our cooling islands have glass on all four sides of the cabinet, giving a clear view of the products regardless of which side the customer meets the cooler. On top are glass sliding lids for ensuring optimum cooling performance to help maintain flavor, freshness, and food safety.

All units are made from robust materials and construction, so they are reliable and solid enough to withstand the demands of busy retail environments, where bumps, dings and scrapes are common.

Maintaining the freshness and quality of products is paramount for any retail business, and at TEFCOLD, our island coolers are designed to do just that. By providing consistent and efficient cooling, our coolers ensure your products stay fresh, enticing, and ready for sale. The only thing you need to do is respect the loading lines to achieve an optimal air circulation and even temperature distribution.
