Open Air Merchandisers

Best Open Air Merchandisers for Commercial Use

Want to boost impulse purchases while keeping your products within arm's reach? An open air merchandiser does exactly that. These units are designed to showcase chilled products like bottled beverages, fresh produce, sandwiches, dairy, and prepared meals while maintaining food-safe temperatures with an invisible curtain of cold air.

Whether you're running a convenience store, grocery store, cafeteria, cafe, or grab-and-go market, an open air merchandiser helps your products sell themselves. Customers can reach right in and grab what they want without opening a door, which speeds up the shopping experience and encourages more purchases.

At GoFoodservice, we carry open air merchandisers from trusted brands like Atosa, Beverage-Air, Excellence Industries, Federal Industries, Howard McCray, True Refrigeration, and Turbo Air. From compact countertop units to full-size vertical and horizontal models, you'll find the right fit for your space and merchandising needs.

Why Choose an Open Air Merchandiser?

If you ask a store owner what drives sales of grab-and-go items, accessibility is always near the top of the list. Customers are more likely to make impulse purchases when there's no barrier between them and the product. A glass door merchandiser keeps products visible, but an open air merchandiser takes it a step further by removing the door entirely.

Beyond accessibility, these units are built to handle the demands of high-traffic commercial environments. Air curtain merchandiser technology creates a steady stream of cold air across the open front, keeping products chilled without a physical door. You'll find features like LED interior lighting, adjustable shelving, and energy-efficient compressors that keep your products looking fresh while controlling operating costs.

Isn't it better to invest in a refrigerator that invites customers to grab and go rather than making them work for it? That's exactly what an open air merchandiser does.

What to Look for in an Open Air Merchandiser

When shopping for an open air merchandiser, not just any unit will do. You need one that fits your space, handles your product volume, and maintains consistent temperatures even with constant customer access.

Some things to consider when choosing an open air merchandiser include:

• Vertical vs. horizontal orientation based on your floor space and product type
• Number of tiers or shelves to maximize product display
• Countertop vs. freestanding models depending on your layout
• LED interior lighting for bright, energy-efficient product visibility
• Air curtain merchandiser performance to maintain safe temperatures with an open front
• Night covers or optional doors for after-hours energy savings
• And more!

An open air merchandiser is a smart investment for any business selling grab-and-go products. Not only does it keep your items at safe temperatures, but it also removes barriers and encourages customers to buy more.
