How to Choose the Right Ice Cream Freezer for Your Shop 

Start With Your Space and Your Footfall 

A busy visitor attraction with a steady stream of customers needs a different setup to a quiet farm shop with occasional passing trade. Before choosing a freezer, think honestly about how much space you have and how many customers you expect to serve, especially at peak times. 

A smaller countertop freezer might suit a shop with limited space or lower footfall, while a larger chest freezer makes more sense if you’re expecting a steady queue. 

Match the Freezer to How You’re Selling 

The right freezer depends on the format you’re stocking. Retail tubs in 1 litre and 500ml sizes work well in a standard display or chest freezer where customers pick up their own tub to take home. 

If you’re scooping to order, you’ll need a dedicated scooping cabinet to suit our 4.5 litre tubs. For kiosks, attractions or busy counters, 100ml impulse pots in packs of 12 fit neatly into a smaller countertop unit, perfect for a quick grab and go sale. 

Make It Easy for Customers to Spot You 

Freezers branded with Cream o’ Galloway graphics help customers recognise us at a glance, which matters when you’re competing for attention against other brands on a busy shelf or counter. 

It’s a small detail, but it helps turn a passing glance into a sale, especially for customers who already know and look out for our tubs.
