Refrigeration, fixtures, and BOH production sold as a system
A grocery store is built around its refrigeration and shelving. We catalog every department — produce, meat, deli, dairy, frozen, bakery, front-end — and pair each with operators who want exactly those cases and racks.

- Open and closed produce cases
- Frozen reach-in & coffin cases
- Walk-in coolers & freezers
- Compressor racks & condensers
- Glass-door reach-ins
Shelving, fixtures & front-end
- Gondola shelving (Lozier, Madix)

- Grocery carts & baskets
Deli, meat, bakery & BOH

Built for the people who actually run these projects
The right channel for the right asset
Grocery is a refrigeration story — recovery comes down to how cleanly cases are pulled, palletized, and matched with the right buyers.
Direct sales to grocery operators
Outreach to operators opening, refreshing, or replacing entire refrigerated departments.
Full-store package sales
Single-buyer transactions for the whole store — cases, racks, BOH — at one negotiated price.
Online timed auctions
Late-model multi-deck cases and bunkers move strongest in time-bound online sales.
Wholesale dealer placement
Bulk sale to refrigeration dealers when speed matters more than top dollar.
Closing sales with removal
On-site sale and coordinated equipment removal for closing stores with hard deadlines.
Every kind of wind-down
Single-store closures
Independent owners winding down with a hard lease deadline.
Chain consolidations
Regional chains closing under-performing stores in a planned wind-down.
Bankruptcy & ABC
Court-supervised grocery liquidations with full reporting for trustees and creditors.
Acquisitions & banner conversions
FF&E refresh when a store changes hands or banner.
Refrigeration replacement
Selling out aging cases as a store retrofits to new refrigerant standards.
Site redevelopment
Stripping a grocery store ahead of demolition or redevelopment.
Refrigeration is the whole game
Pulling cases without proper refrigerant recovery destroys their resale value and exposes you to EPA penalties. We coordinate licensed recovery and disconnect on every refrigerated unit and rack system.
EPA 608 refrigerant recovery
Licensed partners recover R-22, R-404A, R-448A, and CO2 systems before any cases are moved.
Rack & condenser decommission
Compressor racks isolated and de-energized so cases can be sold or scrapped cleanly.
Multi-deck case removal
Cases palletized, lid wrapped, ends protected so they sell rebuilt instead of as scrap.
Walk-in panel salvage
Cooler and freezer panels labeled and crated so they resell for rebuild.

Why independent grocers and chains choose Stonebridge
Grocery store equipment isn't general restaurant equipment — refrigerated and frozen multi-deck cases, walk-in coolers and freezers, rack systems, deli and bakery production lines, checkout lanes, and shopping carts all have specific buyer pools across the independent grocery, ethnic market, and convenience store world. We price and sell each category against real grocery resale comps.
Grocery-specific equipment expertise
Hussmann, Hill Phoenix, Tyler, Kysor/Warren, Zero Zone, Arneg — case manufacturers, refrigerant types (R-404A vs natural refrigerants), age, and condition all drive resale value. We know what independent grocers, supermarket dealers, and case refurbishers will actually pay for your refrigeration.
Direct demand from independent grocers and ethnic markets
Our grocery buyer network spans independent supermarkets, Hispanic and Asian grocery chains, halal and kosher markets, convenience store operators, c-store chains, and used grocery equipment dealers — buyers actively expanding and hungry for late-model refrigerated cases and rack systems.
EPA refrigerant recovery and rack decommissioning done right
Refrigerated cases and parallel rack systems require certified refrigerant recovery before removal. We coordinate EPA-compliant reclaim, proper documentation, and safe disconnect of rack and condensing units so your closure doesn't turn into an environmental liability.
A clear, low-friction first conversation
The first call is short and useful — even if you ultimately decide not to move forward. No hard sell, no pressure, no obligation.
