OUR HISTORY

The Company, headquartered in Phoenix, has been in business since 1940. We began with a single location at 231 South Central, in Phoenix. As the business grew, so did our footprint in Arizona. A Tucson store was opened through an acquisition in 1948, and our Yuma location opened in 1956. In 1976, we expanded outside of Arizona by first incorporating in Virginia, then acquiring a Texas and New Mexico company in 1979: Refrigeration Suppliers, Inc. Additional acquisitions and store openings followed in the 1980s and 1990s, with more store openings, one at a time, thereafter. In 1996, we moved into our current headquarters at 2632 East Chambers, in Phoenix. We now have 34 branch locations across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
