Abstract

Excerpts from the report: A total of 9,875 frozen food locker and freezer provisioning firms were reported operating in the United States in January 1960. Of this total, the survey showed that 8,965 firms provided locker rental service in addition to processing and merchandising. It also showed that 910 firms had no lockers but specialized in processing and merchandising frozen food for home freezer users, institutions, and wholesale and retail outlets. The volume of food processed and the number of patrons served have increased 50 percent during the past 10 years. One out of every seven families is being served by this industry. The value of food sold reached $550 million in 1959 which was double that of 5 years ago. Total sales of food, freezers, supplies, and services reached $844 million. While the number of locker firms showed a decline of 306 as compared with last year, the total number of firms was substantially ahead of a year ago due to the inclusion of freezer provisioning firms for the first time this year. Iowa again led with 689 firms, Wisconsin came second with 616, and Minnesota third with 613.
