Abstract
A refrigerated display case including a case having rear and bottom walls that are coupled together to at least partially define a product display area adapted to receive a wheeled cart containing food product. The bottom wall includes a cart support surface elevated above the floor and adapted to support the wheeled cart within the product display area. The case includes an air passageway having a lower return flue located below the cart support surface. A refrigeration component is at least partially located in the air passageway to cool air directed to the product display area to maintain the products at the desired temperature. At least a portion of the cooled air in the product display area returns to the refrigeration component through the lower return flue.
