Unit Cold Storage Introduces a New Cold Storage Model for Growing Food Brands

Construction expected to be completed by year-end across three strategic U.S. markets.

As food brands expand faster across retail, foodservice, e-commerce, and regional distribution channels, many operators are running into the same problem: traditional cold storage was not built for flexible growth.

Unit Cold Storage is introducing a different approach.

Founded by industry veterans behind Preferred Freezer Services prior to its sale, Unit Cold Storage is developing private temperature-controlled warehouse units designed for companies that need operational control, flexibility, and room to scale without overcommitting upfront.

The company is currently developing and pre-leasing in three key markets:

  • Seabrook, Texas (Houston)
  • Norton, Massachusetts (Boston)
  • Lake Worth, Florida (South Florida)

Construction across all three locations is expected to be completed by year-end.

Each private UNIT is designed to support frozen, refrigerated, and hybrid operations with temperature ranges from -15°F to +55°F.

Unlike traditional shared cold storage environments, the model gives operators dedicated space, dock access, and operational separation designed to reduce congestion, improve visibility, and support faster decision-making.

The platform is aimed at food brands, importers, distributors, and growing operators looking to:

  • Enter new markets strategically
  • Expand regional distribution
  • Test demand before scaling larger
  • Improve operational control
  • Reduce dependence on shared infrastructure

“Food distribution is changing quickly, and operators need more flexibility than traditional cold storage models were designed to provide,” said Dan DiDonato, Co-Founder & President of Unit Cold Storage. “We believe the future of cold storage includes scalable private infrastructure that allows companies to grow at their own pace.”

Pre-leasing is currently underway.
