If you’ve ever had to purchase a walk-in cooler or freezer, you know the process can be stressful. It’s hard to picture how it will fit into your space, whether it has all the right features, and how it will hold up when your kitchen is at its busiest. The last thing you want is a guessing game when it comes to something this important for your foodservice operation.

For Chef Kyle Wilson of Middleby Innovative Kitchens, his Thermo-Kool walk-in is the heartbeat of the kitchen. His journey started in small family kitchens and grew through years of hotel service, late nights and hard-earned lessons. Today, he brings that experience to help other chefs focus on what matters most: the food.

When guests are numerous, menus are seasonal, and shelf life is short, it can be a challenge for kitchens to meet demand without losing quality. That’s why Thermo-Kool’s cold storage solutions are trusted across the U.S. to turn these key hospitality pain points into a (tropical) breeze.

Thermo-Kool introduced Jon Biegel as its national sales manager.

Thermo-Kool’s new 3-D Configurator makes designing a cooler or freezer easy and accurate. Customize the size and shape you want; then add a variety of options. See your finished design instantly, and download it in the format you need. It’s a one-of-a-kind tool — there’s nothing else like it!

Thermo-Kool hired Mark Fogarty to serve as national sales manager for the Mt. Laurel, Miss.-based manufacturer.

Capping a career that spanned 41-years with the company, Teri Brewer has retired from her post as vice president and sales/marketing manager for Thermo-Kool, the Laurel, Miss.-based manufacturer of walk-in coolers and freezers, blast chillers and shock freezers.
