Ice Merchandisers
Ice is the highest margin and most profitable item in most supermarkets and convenience stores. Margins are even higher when you produce the ice yourself. Once ice is delivered or produced, the storage location is the key factor in sales. These ice merchandisers can be placed in high traffic areas indoors or out thereby increasing your foot traffic and impacting store sales dramatically.
