Alton Refrigeration began operation in the very early 1930’s and remained at the original 550 East Broadway location until June 2007 when they relocated to 2996 Homer Adams Parkway in Alton. Providing customers with easy parking and handicap accessibility, the new location also centralizes product display and warehousing in one large 26,000 square foot facility.
