Abstract
A refrigerated product merchandising unit for storing and displaying chilled products including a body member, a product holding container positionable within the body member, and a base member having a refrigeration unit associated therewith, the refrigeration unit being positionable within the body member and being adapted for providing cold air to the product holding container. The product holding container includes a first plurality of openings positioned adjacent the top end portion thereof for allowing cold air to enter the product holding container and a second plurality of openings positioned adjacent the bottom end portion thereof for allowing air to exit the product holding container for recycling through the refrigeration unit. A member is provided for segregating air exiting the product holding container from the cold air being delivered to the product holding container such that air exiting the product holding container cannot be redirected to the first plurality of openings without first passing through the refrigeration unit.
