Refrigeration Service?

I plan to open the store in mid to late April. However the task is a little more daunting than I had anticipated.
My chief partner will be Metzger Meats of Hensall. Gerhardt Metzger (did you know: Metzger is German for butcher) will supply me with the fresh meat products as well as some charcutterie. Metzger has great natural meats grown by his brother and the Coleman family of Kippen however what I need now are the four deli cases to display the meats.
Getting a quote from these refrigeration dealers is like pulling teeth, they either get the order wrong or take the order and ignore it for two weeks until you call back inquiring. Not to name any names but the big refrigeration dealers out of the GTA and London have terrible service, are expensive, and ignore their customers. Not that my project is large but I am dealing with tens of thousands of dollars.
So, the good news is that the two local companies returned quotes within 4 days and will hook the units up (hydro, drains, etc). I am encouraged by this since Forager Foods is all about being local, I will be supporting one of the two local refrigeration outfits.
side note: I have watched some members of my family start new businesses in Toronto, it now strikes me as a painfully slow and expensive process. Not everything is easier in the country but by my experience buying refrigeration is!
