Glass Door Refrigerators

A commercial beverage cooler can have a profound impact upon your business’s success, depending upon the circumstances.  Presentation is everything sometimes, and the prospect of presenting your patrons with appealing, cool beverages for purchase can add a lot of credibility to your business.

You’ll want to base the size of whatever you got around the purpose of your commercial beverage cooler.  Is it meant to store sodas and other soft drinks?  Do you need a commercial wine chiller to store bottles of wine in a nice, appealing format for your liquor store or other business?  Is it a commercial beer cooler that you seek out?  Or, are you in need of a commercial beverage refrigerator to store larger, industrial sized liquids?   You may even want a commercial beverage dispenser that doubles up as a vending machine and a beverage refrigerator.

While shelving heights can be manipulated in most units, you’ll still want to get something that’s conducive to the overall theme you’re trying to project.  Naturally, each style will be optimized for a certain use, as you’ve surely seen commercial beverage coolers that house hundreds of drinks in one store, and other small commercial beverage coolers that might house a certain type of drink.  An example of this would be the smaller coolers that may be devoted to one brand, like a Mystic or Red Bull beverage refrigerator.

Speaking of which, aligning your commercial beverage cooler with the brand of drink served inside the refrigerator may be a move worth considering for your business.  They say that the correlation as far as branding goes increases both credibility and sales.  For whatever reason, psychology plays into such a decision, as the buyer will see a direct affiliation between your business and the drink at hand, and the drink subsequently ends up looking more appetizing due to the increased branding presence.  If your commercial beverage cooler is housing a wide variety of drinks (i.e. Coke and Pepsi products), this may not be as practical.  It is, however, something worth considering if your brands are aligned.

As far as pricing for commercial beverage coolers is concerned, there’s a wide range and much of it has to do with the size of the unit.  Naturally, the bigger the cooler, the more you’ll expect to pay in price.  Having said that, there are still other considerations that may play into it, including the lighting, whether the doors are sliding glass doors, cooling capacity, and other overall style components.

When all is said and done, the compact glass door beverage coolers might start at just $200 or $300 per refrigerator.  These are intended to store smaller quantities of drinks, usually beers or sodas, and may store up to 50 or 60 beverages at a time.

If you’re looking for a main unit that stores hundreds of drinks at a time, you should be prepared to pay upwards of $1,000 for such a unit.  For example, the Summit 11 cubic foot commercial refrigerator retails on average for about $1,100, though some comparison shopping may bring you to some retailers offering it for as low as $1,030.

Once you know the size you have in mind, simply review some of the many options available for sale online.  Compare prices and read reviews, and you’ll be on your way to a smart buying decision.
