Service Cold Storage

What Service Cold Storage does

Service Cold Storage is a privately held, single-site temperature-controlled warehousing operator founded in 2009 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company operates 30,000 sq ft of freezer space maintained at 2°F and 6,000 sq ft of cooler space maintained at 36°F, providing cold storage, frozen storage, and refrigerated warehousing for food and perishable goods. Core services include container loading and unloading, product consolidation and repackaging, export consolidation, inventory control, order fulfillment, and same-day delivery for a customer base that spans food distributors (beef, pork, poultry, fish), import-export businesses, fisheries, cruise ships, grocery stores, and restaurants.

The facility is differentiated by its location less than a mile from Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and I-95, and by FDA and USDA Export facility certifications that enable the company to handle goods moving in international trade. Technology stack comprises wireless IoT temperature monitoring devices providing real-time environmental data, 24/7 security monitoring, and robust power backup infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted refrigeration. The company maintains memberships in the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW) and the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), and exposes an online customer portal for inventory, payment, and order tracking.

Revenue is generated through quote-based storage fees tied to space utilized and duration, supplemented by value-added service charges for consolidation, repackaging, and fulfillment. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with direct sales for national and international accounts and a self-service portal layer for existing clients. No institutional funding, headcount disclosures, M&A activity, or management team information is publicly available.

Broad incumbents

• Lineage Logistics: World's largest temperature-controlled warehouse REIT and logistics provider with hundreds of facilities globally. Highly comparable on temperature-controlled storage and food industry customer base, but at a national/global scale with public-company resources, automation investment, and capital that Service Cold Storage cannot match.
• NewCold: Global cold storage operator specializing in automated, energy-efficient temperature-controlled warehouses for food industry customers. Directly comparable offering (frozen/refrigerated storage for food) but with advanced automation technology and capital backing that Service Cold Storage lacks.
• Americold Logistics: The largest publicly-traded temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics company in North America. Comparable as a cold storage operator serving food industry customers, but operates at vastly greater scale (hundreds of facilities) and offers broader integrated logistics services beyond Service Cold Storage's single-site, regional focus.
• United States Cold Storage: Major North American public refrigerated warehousing company with nationwide facility network. Offers the same temperature-controlled storage and food industry value-added services (container handling, inventory management) as Service Cold Storage, but with significantly larger scale and geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Burris Logistics: Mid-Atlantic-based cold storage and food distribution company offering refrigerated warehousing, container loading/unloading, and value-added services to food distributors and retailers. Closely comparable business model and customer mix to Service Cold Storage, though operating at larger scale across multiple states.
• Preferred Freezer Services: Large US operator of temperature-controlled warehouses serving food importers, exporters, distributors, and retailers. Comparable on temperature-controlled storage services, value-added offerings (container handling, inventory control), and food-industry customer focus, though at much greater scale (acquired by Lineage in 2024).
• Nordic Logistics and Warehousing: Multi-site cold storage operator on the US East Coast offering temperature-controlled warehousing, blast freezing, and value-added services to food industry customers. Directly comparable on service mix and customer segments, though with greater scale and geographic reach than Service Cold Storage.
• SuperFrost Logistics: Frozen and refrigerated warehousing provider serving food distributors, seafood companies, and import-export businesses. Closely comparable on temperature-controlled storage, value-added services, and food-industry customer focus at a similarly mid-sized regional scale.
• Terminal Refrigerating Company: Long-established refrigerated warehousing company at US ports offering temperature-controlled storage, container handling, and export consolidation. Directly comparable to Service Cold Storage on port-adjacent cold storage for food import/export, with similar service mix and value-added offerings.

Regional players

• Cold Box Express: Florida-based refrigerated trucking and logistics provider. Comparable as a Florida-region cold chain operator serving food customers, though focused on transportation rather than warehousing, making it more of a partner/competitor for cross-dock and container handoff business than a direct storage peer.
