Whether you need a walk-in freezer, chiller cold room or refrigerated cabinet, you can be assured that MTCSS have your business’s best interests at heart.
We’ve worked with an array of industries over the years, and garden centres are no different!
The Ever-Changing Retail Space of Garden Centres
Garden centres may have been traditionally a retail-based industry that focused on selling plants and equipment for domestic gardens.
But today, to keep up with consumer demand, garden centres have expanded their offerings, moving away from solely selling agricultural products to a variety – often including homeware, clothing gifts and toys.
Plus, to encourage visitors to stay, many garden centres now house enticing experiences such as restaurants, small farms, butcher departments and more!
How Can Garden Centres Benefit from a Cold Storage Solution?
Following the expansion of garden centres and the services they provide, there are even more applications for cold storage.
Whether you require a walk-in freezer or chiller cold room for your kitchen, or a refrigerated display cabinet to sell your freshly prepared food products, such as ready-to-go sandwiches, farm fresh dairy products, cold drinks and more – MTCSS can find the right solution for you!
In order to find the right cold storage solution, we firstly need to consider the main components of your garden centre, which can include anything from indoor and outdoor plant storage, to café or restaurant facilities, as well as deli food stands.
Cold Storage Solutions for Garden Centres
Based on the various possible sectors found in garden centres, MTCSS can provide an array of cold storage solutions.
No matter your requirements, our team can provide you with an innovative and high-quality solution.
Chiller Cold Rooms for Indoor and Outdoor Plants
Cold rooms can be especially useful for plants and flowers, particularly if you need a constant supply of products all year round!
Growing plants and flowers in both the winter and summer can be tricky, as the optimum temperature for growth cannot be consistently met by the weather.
As such, MTCSS can offer temperature-controlled rooms that:
- Help to preserve plants and flowers for longer – due to the improved level of air flow and constant temperature.
Most plants grow best when between 24-27 degrees Celsius, so whether you need to grow a tropical fern or preserve your roses, this is easily achievable with a cold storage solution such as a chiller cold room.
We did this for one of our customers, Q Flowers – who needed a new chiller cold room to house their range of flowers that come from all over the world, allowing them to be efficiently and reliably preserved to perfection for their customers.
Walk-In Fridges and Freezer Cold Rooms for Cafés, Restaurants and Kitchens
When running a kitchen or café, one of the most important things is ensuring that your products are stored correctly, helping them to be safe, legally compliant and accessible to busy staff.
Having suitable a suitable cold room for your produce allows your business to flourish and your guests to be satisfied. Likewise, it also makes it easier to adhere to the health and safety requirements of the food industry.
The type of cold room you require will depend on the products your garden centre café and the products you store. If you require:
- Your products to remain fresh, yet maintained at a consistent temperature, then a walk-in cold room is likely the solution for you.
- Your products to remain frozen between – 40°C to 0°C – a walk-in freezer cold room is ideal for you.
- Food preparation at +10°C to +30°C – an ambient temperature-controlled area is the best solution.
MTCSS can also supply and install bespoke cold rooms to fit into and insulate an existing area – utilising the space you already have available more effectively.
Refrigerated Display Cabinets for Food Halls, Butchers, Deli Shops, etc.
Dairy products, cooked and raw meats, ready-to-eat foods, and much more cover just some of the products you can expect to see at a garden centre’s food hall or deli.
If you are selling high-risk foods, they must be kept at the right temperature at all times to stop your customers from getting ill and losing business as a result.
