Types of refrigerator merchandisers
One-door merchandisers
Single swing door coolers fit cafés, front counters and small shops that sell a focused range of drinks.
Two- and three-door merchandisers
A 2-door or 3-door merchandiser refrigerator gives convenience stores and grocers room for a wide beverage and dairy selection on one wall.
Sliding glass door merchandisers
Sliding glass door merchandiser refrigerators open without swing space, a good fit for narrow aisles and busy counters.
Also see open air merchandisers for door-free grab-and-go and countertop merchandisers for impulse sales at the till.
How to choose a refrigerator merchandiser

Doors and capacity: count the products and facings you want to show and choose one, two or three doors accordingly.
Swing or sliding doors: swing doors open wide for restocking; sliding doors save aisle space.
Glass and lighting: double-pane or heated glass reduces condensation, and LED lighting makes labels pop.
Placement: leave the required airflow around the unit and keep it out of direct sun and away from heat sources.
Power: most merchandisers plug into a 115 V outlet; larger models may need a dedicated circuit.
Branding: a lighted header panel can carry your logo or a supplier’s graphics.

Frequently asked questions
What is a refrigerator merchandiser?
It is a commercial refrigerator with glass doors and bright lighting, designed to display and sell cold drinks and packaged food to customers.
What temperature should a beverage merchandiser hold?
Most are set at about 33–41°F (1–5°C) to keep drinks and packaged food cold and safe.
Swing or sliding doors – which is better?
Swing doors give full access for loading; sliding doors work best where aisle space is tight. Both hold temperature well.
Can I use a merchandiser in the kitchen?
Yes, many kitchens use glass door units for drinks and prepped items, but a solid door reach-in usually holds temperature better in a hot kitchen.
