MPM Food Equipment Group has been bitten by Frost –
Frost Gelato, that is
True T-49 Reach-In Merchandiser for Gelato to Go |
The Frost store in Naperville, Illinois, is the
second Frost store that MPM has helped supply, and the requirements of the
store are unique.
Frost Gelato is a “gelateria,” and the chefs make
the gelato fresh every day. “MPM provided a custom work table specifically
designed for the prep of gelato, with water faucets and sinks built into the
table and storage below,” says David Fallon, MPM’s Director of Sales – Food
Service.
“We also
provided True refrigeration and freezers for storage and merchandising,” he
added. “MPM sourced and provided equipment that was both functional and
provided the style that the customer wanted to incorporate in the total look and
feel of the store.” The reach-in for Frost’s “Gelato to Go” is a True T-49, and
the units in back are True T-49 and T-49G.

Frost Gelato supplies high-end, freshly made
gelato to walk-up customers in high-retail traffic locations, like the one in
Naperville. It’s located in downtown Naperville's new Main Street Promenade
East development. To produce their high-quality gelato, “they use very sophisticated
cooling equipment from Europe and very sleek high-efficient display cases from
Italy,” Fallon said.
Frost is a repeat customer for MPM. The owners of
the Naperville store - Steve Rams, Kurt Bruksch and Ed Bruksch – first brought
Frost to the Midwest by opening a store in Highland Park, Illinois, in 2011.
