The refrigeration equipment business is not a matter of refrigeration expertise alone. Knowing the needs of the customer's process is also a vital requirement to achieve optimal system solutions...
Located in Burnaby, B.C., Jones Food Store Equipment specializes in supermarket equipment, refrigeration systems and commmercial food storage facilities, and offers expert services to its clients.
JFSE's goal is to fulfil all food retailer and distributor's refrigeration and equipment needs. JFSE sells new and used refrigeration equipment, installs and services it, but more than that, JFSE offers advice and assistance on everything from store design and layout, to formulating a competitive marketing strategy.
JFSE has been doing business with major food retailers as well as independent retailers, servicing supermarkets to grocery stores and everything inbetween, since 1971. |
History
Back in 1949 grandfather Jones was working in the food industry and was selling the innovative Hussmann products until his retirement in 1968. Harold Jones began his apprenticeship in 1954 with Barrie Jones following in 1963.
In April 1971 Barrie and his cousin Harold Jones bought Domino Refrigeration and acquired the B.C. and Yukon distributorship for Hussmann. Hussmann was and is the world's largest refrigeration equipment manufacturer offering innovation, selection, and quality — strengths JFSE wanted to emulate.
The first thing Barrie and Harold did was hire five new employees. Since then, JFSE has grown into B.C.'s largest food store equipment sales and service firm. Harold retired in September 1996, but the tradition continues. |

No way can anyone claim to be a reliable supplier of refrigeration systems without extensive experience of contracting...
"The common law of business balance does not allow you to pay a little and get a lot. It just doesn't work that way. Remember that if you deal with the low bidder, you must put something aside to handle the risk that you are taking. And if you do that, you can afford something better." |
