DESIGNING FOR THE CHANGING COLD STORAGE LANDSCAPE.
With years of experience in grocery, refrigerated warehouse, and cold storage design, Henderson has developed and integrated reliable and efficient refrigeration designs into all facility types and sizes. Our in-house team of refrigeration design engineers combines refrigeration engineering expertise with in-store operations knowledge.
We combine advanced engineering expertise with operations knowledge. We customize each design to creat cost-effective, environmentally friendly systems. At each step in the selection and design process we are evaluating how each decision will affect the client's experience with the building, from firm cost to reliability and maintenance, to efficiency and total cost of ownership. Discussing the merits, drawbacks, and requirements of each can influence, or even dictate, a refrigeration decision in a warehouse environment.

CREATING CONVENIENT SHOPPING EXPERIENCES.
At Henderson Engineers, we know that modern life can get busy. When running around town, you'll need a place to stop to grab a quick drink or snack and fuel up in between errands. But we believe a pit stop doesn't mean you have to forgo a great customer experience and our team keeps that in mind when designing building systems in convenience stores.
For decades we have been the trusted designer for convenience store outlets nationwide. We understand the end user experience for these building types and work with some of the most recognizable store brands out there. Cold drinks, frozen treats, functional restrooms, and comfortable temperatures are just a few aspects of the convenience store experience that we make happen. We aim for a reliable enjoyable visit every time you stop by.
