Eskimo Cold Storage Freezer Warehouse Addition

By the Numbers

Eskimo Cold Storage, which handles a variety of frozen foods with the ability to blast freeze products and have them ready for shipment the next day, selected Carroll Daniel to design and build a new 225,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art freezer in Gainesville, Georgia.

225,000 SF Freezer Addition

96,000 SF Shuttle Rack

78,000 SF Push Back Rack

A State-of-the-Art Freezer Facility

This 225,000 SF freezer addition will increase Eskimo Cold Storage’s capacity and potential for business for decades to come. The facility features a two-part freezer system, consisting of a 78,000 SF Push Back Rack (Freezer A) and a 96,000 SF Shuttle Rack (Freezer B). Freezer B will be a semi-automated system with the entire facility being held at zero degrees.

Cold Storage Construction

The building stands at 66 feet tall, with insulated metal panels enclosing the cold storage facility. These panels, combined with cutting-edge cooling systems, maintain the optimal temperature in the facility for blast freezing a larger volume of products, ensuring they are ready for shipment the following day. Carroll Daniel self-performed concrete and steel on this project, designing and building the new freezer to accommodate the Eskimo Cold Storage’s growing cold chain needs.

Partners for Growth

Founders of Eskimo Cold Storage, Steve Williams, President, and Karen Reece, Vice President, have been business partners for over 35 years, opening the first Eskimo cold warehouse in 2007. The new stand-alone freezer is situated adjacent to Eskimo’s existing 250,000 SF freezer. The expansion will allow Eskimo to continue to provide 24/7 availability to its clients. Eskimo Cold Storage will play a critical role in the continued growth and success of logistics, supply chain and storage in our region, and Carroll Daniel Construction is grateful to be the design-builder of this project and to play a small role in Eskimo’s great growth story.

Our passion for warehousing began many years ago. We are dedicated to the freezer industry and this new freezer will allow us to continue to meet our clients’ growing warehousing needs. We are proud of our company growth and look forward to working with the design-build team at Carroll Daniel Construction to see our vision come to fruition.
