Ice Cream Display Cases

Increase sales with ice cream display freezers

Most everyone loves ice cream, but help boost your sales even more with the right ice cream display cases. Ice cream and its Italian counterpart, gelato, look appealing all by themselves but need display and dipping cases that maintain proper temperatures, allow for customer viewing and self service when needed, look good and contain plenty of storage space.

Gelato and ice cream display cases do not come cheap, so you should really do your research before you buy. Some criteria to consider when purchasing a display case include:

1. Check out warranty information on each ice cream case that interests you.

2. Look for lighted ice cream display cases that give customers the best possible view of your products.

3. Measure the available space for your ice cream display case before you shop since they take up a significant amount of space.

 

Capture your impulse buyers with prominent ice cream displays

If you want extra sales for your ice cream shop, gas station or small grocery store, play to the impulse buyer and station an open or closed freezer display case near your cash register or in a prominent place that receives heavy foot traffic. Even though someone enters your store thinking he'll just get an ice cream cone, he may buy that and more if he sees prepackaged ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cakes staring back at him. Also consider using one of these self-serve display cases to highlight new ice cream products when they first hit your store.
Try: Consider the Master-Bilt ice cream display merchandiser at ACityDiscount; this efficient and easy-to-maintain ice cream freezer display makes it easy and tempting for customers to grab one of your pre-packaged ice cream cakes or novelties before they pay for their sundae. If you prefer a horizontal display case, check out the Master-Bilt ice cream freezer display cases at ChefsFirst; they provide free shipping, and you should also ask them about other brands of ice cream display freezers they carry but don't show on their website.

Order gelato display cases to show off your selection

Gelato makes an excellent alternative to ice cream since it doesn't contain cream and therefore often comes with fewer calories. You can serve gelato and ice cream, but gelato requires slightly warmer temperatures than the latter, so you'll need separate ice cream and gelato show cases.
Try: Pick the color and shape you like for your Aspen gelato display case at Machine Ice Company; their cases hold between 12 and 24 gelato containers. Go to Fun Food Depot to order the Gel6 gelato display and dipping case; the case lets you store two levels of 12 pans stacked on top of each other and comes with a stainless steel front panel for easy clean up.

Find an ice cream display case with dipping cabinet that fits in your store or restaurant

Look for ice cream show cases that suit the nature of your business, whether you operate an ice cream store, gas station, convenience store or grocery store.
Try: If your customers scoop their own ice cream in your restaurant or store, order the small ice cream store display and dipping cabinet at BigTray, and you won't pay freight costs. This ice cream display cabinet holds four ice cream containers, includes fluorescent interior lighting and comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty and five-year compressor warranty. Visit Gold Star Restaurant Equipment & Supply to see sales and lease prices for their Hussman commercial ice cream display cases; these ice cream store fixtures also come with a one-year warranty for parts and labor and a five-year warranty on the compressor.

 

• If you operate an ice cream store, consider purchasing multi-plexing ice cream display cases that join together for a uniform and tailored look.
