Resources for Growing Supermarket Sales


We’re often asked for equipment recommendations for foodservice operations that are branching out in new directions. As many supermarkets move toward “grocerant” concepts, getting equipped for fresh food storage, prep, and serving has now become a necessary part of the overall growth strategy.

At the same time, maintaining quality and efficiency in existing departments is still a top priority. With a portfolio of equipment and supply lines that serve the full spectrum of foodservice, we can help reinforce existing grocery operations while supporting new revenue streams.

From small cutlery pieces to large, refrigerated walk-in’s, we can help supermarkets find proven product solutions to produce consistent, quality results in every department. 

Here are just a few examples from the manufacturers we represent.


Deli and Butcher

Designed to take the punishment butchers dish out, BPX Butcher Knives by Mercer Culinary are made of ice-hardened, high-carbon German steel to deliver sharp, precise cuts use after use. Taper-ground edge provides long-lasting sharpness and easy honing.





MercerMax Cut Gloves provide ANSI Level A7 cut protection for cut and abrasion resistance against heavier cut hazards. They also provide employee comfort and dexterity with permanent antimicrobial protection for enhanced food safety. 

Made from FDA approved materials for safe direct food contact, all styles are washable and bleach safe. 

Each style is made to fit either the left or right-hand and is offered in 5 color-coded sizes to ensure an excellent fit for optimal performance.



Bizerba offers a broad line of manual and automatic slicers with easily removable mounting parts and other components that speed up cleaning and improve hygiene. 

Their optional Ceraclean® surface coating was developed by Bizerba for an even higher degree of protection from microorganisms, creating a nonstick surface that can be easily wiped down and sanitized.




With a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion, Camshelving Premium Series posts and traverses have a steel core and smooth polypropylene exterior for superior strength, rust-free durability, and cleanability. 

Antimicrobial shelf plates are removable and can be either washed in a commercial dishwasher or wiped down by hand, making it easy to keep your storage areas clean and hygienic, even under the bottom shelf. 

Camshelving withstands storage temperatures anywhere from -36˚ to 190˚F, and is impervious to moisture, chemicals, salt, food acids, and humidity.



Prepared Foods

Structural Concepts offers a variety of merchandisers for every supermarket department

Whether you need a lineup of service cases in the deli section, or a single grab and go case at the checkout or for on-line order pick up, they have a merchandising solution. 



Structural Concepts’ foundation of unprecedented expertise in self-contained refrigeration has allowed them to pioneer award-winning technology that sets the standard for reliable products with unmatched ease of operation and strong performance.




Hatco's Flav-R-Savor® Heated Air Curtain Merchandiser gives customers access to temperature-controlled hot food without having to open doors to get to it. 

Warm air at the top front of the cabinet is forced downward to form a “curtain” of heated air, some of which is drawn toward the rear of the cabinet. 

This air flow pattern effectively and safely keeps foods at ideal serving temperatures without doors getting in the way of efficient, hygienic service.



Bakery

The Convotherm 4 with ACS+ and BakePro helps ensure that every product is baked to perfection every time, no matter who is operating it! 

With easyTouch® you can configure your baking profiles with your own pictures, then simply touch to start. 

BakePro can even be programmed in multi-level baking profiles for baked products such as Danish pastries, baguettes, croissants, and bread. 



FWE Proofer and Heated Holding Cabinets proof and heat, eliminating costly duplication of equipment. This non-Insulated cabinet holds 18" x 26" Trays and Pans. 

A built-in humidity system balances moisture and air with controlled heat and humidity capabilities, allowing for greater control of holding food environment for longer holding periods. Constructed of stainless steel, with welded base frame for added strength and durability during transport, this durable cabinet also features a field reversible door for installation flexibility.


The Ultimate Sheet Pan Rack  from Cambro is made of rust-proof composite material that makes it a reliable, long-lasting, and easy-to-clean solution for sheet pan transport and holding. 

Its heat-resistant rails can accept a pan directly from a 350°F oven. 

Available in Full Size, Half Size, or Under-counter models, two caster types, and two rail spacing options (3" or 1½"), these bakery essentials hold full size or half size sheet pans or trays and come with a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion. 




Cambro Mobile Ingredient Bins conveniently fit under standard worktables to keep frequently used baking staples such as flour and sugar out of the way, but close-at-hand. 

Made of NSF-listed, FDA-accepted material for direct food contact, these durable bins also have a hygienic, clear sliding lid that provides clear visibility and quick access to ingredients without needing to be removed.





Cambro Market Trays were designed for versatile and attractive merchandising of salads, desserts, hors d’oeuvres, pastries, and more. 

These dishwasher safe trays are made of high impact resistant fiberglass with aluminum reinforced rims, with choices of low profile trays and 2" deep pans.


Catering and Holding

The top loading Cam GoBox carrier is made of an eco-friendly, high performance expanded polypropylene foam material that provides superior strength and insulation without adding extra weight. 

The GoBox protects ready-to-eat foods and grocery orders with 4+ hours of hot or cold holding. 

This budget friendly insulated carrier is also dishwasher safe, CFC-free, and 100% recyclable.




Maintain hot and chilled foods in the same cabinet with the Cambro Pro Cart Ultra—or switch it up! 

Swap out the module on back with the opposite, optional module to transform your Pro Cart Ultra compartment in minutes to non-drying heat or an additional cooling unit. 

Even when unplugged, this versatile cart keeps hot food hot and cold food cold for 4+ hours, protected by thick CFC-free insulation. 

Rust-proof and dent-resistant, the Pro Cart Ultra is equipped with adjustable stainless steel rails to hold food pans, sheet pans, trays, and large pizza boxes.



The FWE Universal Heated Holding Cabinet model UHS-12 keeps food fresh and hot for hours with the patented Humi-Temp heat and humidity system. With this system, humidity can be added to condition circulated heat. Hot, moist air circulates gently throughout the interior of the cabinet for consistent temperatures. 

This versatile cabinet holds 18" x 26" sheet pans or GN food pans on fully adjustable tray slides. Controls are up-front, easy to read and set, and include a full-range thermostat that continuously reads cabinet temperature. For more precise humidity control, FWE offers the Clymate IQ Cabinet.


Food Transport and Refrigeration

New Age Industrial's Produce Stocking Cart is an all welded aluminum cart for maximum strength and durability. Offered with a solid top with marine edge to help contain spills or  T-Bar top for air circulation. Solid shelves are constructed with .080" aluminum sheet with raised marine edge. 

Equipped with 5" platform type casters and backed by a lifetime guarantee against rust and corrosion with a five-year Guarantee against workmanship and material defects.

From plug-and-play options such as Polar-Pak and KoldFront walk-ins to semi-custom EpiK Walk-Ins to custom solutions, Kolpak can save you money on the overall cost of ownership. 

A wide variety of efficient walk-in systems feature the latest technologies and top-notch insulating capabilities to help you ensure that your valuable food inventory is protected at the proper storing temperature and humidity.
