Karl Explores US C- Stores, NACS and America sights
This year, Karl, MD of Adande Refrigeration, embarked on an exciting business trip to the United States to visit convenience stores and attend The NACS Show. The purpose? To explore and showcase how Adande Refrigeration’s professional kitchen refrigeration systems can meet the needs of American businesses, especially in convenience stores and high-traffic food service environments.
It’s All in the Details
From bustling city centre’s to suburban convenience hubs, this trip was about gaining first-hand insights and creating long-lasting connections. The attention to detail in places like Ford Garage was remarkable. The company’s commitment to customer experience was clear, much like Adande’s focus on providing high-performance refrigeration for restaurants and convenience stores. From vintage decor to friendly service, the atmosphere made it easy to understand why customers keep coming back.
Convenience on a New Scale
The USA operates on a much larger scale compared to the UK, from long petrol station lineups to enormous trucks on the road, and even the vast variety of food choices at convenience stores. With bigger sites come greater customer responsibilities. Keeping up with the demand in high-traffic stores requires optimised workflow and reliable equipment. This is where Adande’s refrigerated drawers excel, offering commercial fridge and freezer units that improve service speed and maintain fresh, tasty meals. Our drawers are the best commercial refrigeration option for operators looking to streamline their kitchen operations and reduce wait times.
Insight Research and Happy Customers
Karl’s experience with the Insight Research team was a highlight of the trip! Carolyn and Nick guided him through standout convenience stores, where he also met some Happy Adande customers. Seeing our professional refrigeration units in action, enhancing kitchen operations and improving workflows, was a rewarding moment. It’s always great to witness firsthand how our commercial refrigeration solutions are making a tangible impact in the field.
Viva Las Vegas at The NACS Show
Our third trip to The NACS Show in Las Vegas was a huge success! The Adande team exhibited a range of our refrigerated drawers, including the VCR, VCS, and the new VCC compact units, showcasing the versatility and efficiency of our professional refrigeration systems. It was an exciting opportunity to form new connections within the industry. To top it off, we had the chance to meet some celebrities, including Conor McGregor! Overall, it was an unforgettable event, and we’re looking forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
