Polar King reports on cold storage innovations for schools
The company’s latest report discusses the impact of increased demand for food safety compliance and the rising costs of perishables on cold storage in educational settings
Polar King has released a new industry report detailing the latest trends, challenges, and innovations shaping walk-in cold storage in educational settings.
The report, "Trends and Innovations in Walk-In Cold Storage for Educational Settings," authored by Regional Sales Manager Dan Parsenow, offers valuable insight for K-12 and higher education leaders seeking efficient, reliable solutions to meet growing demands in foodservice, emergency preparedness, and hands-on learning programs.
“As schools look to modernize operations, cold storage has become a critical tool,” Parsenow said. “This report equips decision-makers with the knowledge they need to invest wisely, reduce waste, and maximize resources.”
The report explores key drivers, including increased demand for food safety compliance, rising costs of perishables, and the need for flexible, mobile refrigeration during outages or remodels. It also highlights real-world case studies—such as a Louisiana district that avoided $45,000 in food loss thanks to a Polar King trailer—and showcases design innovations.
Polar King’s refrigeration and freezer walk-in units serve schools, colleges and universities around the country with tailored cold storage options—ranging from permanent structures to mobile trailers and multi-compartment units.
