Given the long shelf life, the risk of food waste is lower – and perceived value for money is usually high.
But merchandising a large assortment of bags and boxes in limited freezer space can hamper visibility, especially during peak hours. Due to sub-zero temperatures, merchandising freezers is often not popular with store staff and energy usage is high, especially during the summer, hitting stores’ bottom line. Improved energy usage is also the reason for many retailers to switch to more efficient freezer models which often requires them to merchandise products differently.
