Abstract
A food display including a container for holding a product and having at least one translucent portion that facilitates viewing the product from outside the container, a sign panel that is coupled to the container and is at least partially translucent, and a light assembly that includes a light source positioned to provide light to both the container and the sign panel. Preferably, the sign panel and the light source are both positioned above an upper plane of the container to facilitate backlighting the sign panel. The food display may further include a fan positioned above the upper plane of the container, and an air circulation system that circulates air within the container. In one embodiment, the container includes a conduit, such as a hollow corner post that supports a side panel of the container, extending from the upper portion to the lower portion.
