Description:
Coolers or ice chests as they were once called serve many purposes and typically utilize two product
shapes: rectangular or round. CoolZone Coolers brings to the market a “working‐person’s cooler” that
is fun, sexy and multifunctional.
Construction worksites often do not have electricity or running water, leaving the worker to
depend upon water he or she may have brought or the traditional round, company beverage
cooler located on the work truck. On hot days when water is vitally important and must be
rationed, it is extremely frustrated when water is still in the cooler but to dispense it, the
worker must remove the cooler from the fixture and tip it forward to remove the water.
Likewise, this can be frustrating at sporting events such as football, baseball, soccer and
basketball games. Tipping the cooler can be dangerous for little leaguers who are not strong or
tall enough to prevent the cooler from toppling them over.
CoolZone Cooler’s, new Octagonal Ice Chest Coolers solve these issues. With its patent
incline floor the beverage is allowed to be dispensed – to the last drop – without
tilting the cooler. Plus, the octagonal design provides more insulation over the typical
round design and maintains ice for 2 days longer then our competitors, thereby creating a
cost savings for customers
From this new concept of drinking coolers, CoolZone has extended the octagonal beverage
cooler line to include a 10‐gallon cooler bringing the total designs in the line to 7. Further, these
coolers also incorporate or expand features of CoolZone’s original, patented Multi Purpose
Cooler.
