Author Topic: Drop-in bottle displays Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-08-2005 09:28 PM                        Hello, I don't know if any of you have seen this in theatre "architecture" as of late, but I had a question about a certain piece of equipment. I see them installed at the Famous Players SilverCity theatres at the concession stand. They're flush with the counter, and it alternates between candy displays and these units. I've been searching on the internet all night, and all I've been able to gather of them is that they are a combination of a refrigerated merchandiser, deli case and counter bottle display. These units drop into the counter and remain flush with it. Customers can view the bottled drinks, but require staff to serve it (the front is glass, the back is doors). These units I guess are a type of "serve over", and are approximately 36"-48" wide. If anyone has anymore information or needs clarification, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your time.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-09-2005 03:03 AM                     Maybe, take a spin back to that theatre and ask them on this arrangement in their concession stand - on how it was built into the snakbar, manufacturer, and any other info that you can grab from them. Sometimes, asking about stuff is the best way to start. good luck - Monte  |  IP: Logged Brian Hogan Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 09-11-2005 08:39 PM                     is it a working fridge or is it just a display? ive seen the display kind at the newer megas, but i have yet to see one thats a working fridge as well. sounds keen.  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-11-2005 09:19 PM                        Yep.

Try asking there, since nobody here seems to know.  |  IP: Logged Andy Bergstrom Film Handler Posts: 44 From: St. Cloud, MN Registered: Feb 2000 posted 09-12-2005 01:54 PM                     Check out the Beverage-Air company www.beverage-air.com or True Food Service Equipment www.truemfg.com. Those to companies basically cover commercial refridgeration units.  |  IP: Logged
