About Bradner Cold Storage
Despite our incredible growth since our humble beginnings in 2011, Bradner Cold Storage has never lost track of its roots. What began as a two-person company has blossomed into five locations with loyal team members who help us to continue to grow and provide flexible, solution-based services.
From the start, we knew we wanted to do things differently. Our focus has always been on creating the most effective and efficient supply chain and putting our team’s happiness and success first. We know that if we can keep our team happy and efficient, they’ll keep you happy.

Each of our five locations are backed by our committed team members who take a flexible approach to creating solutions that best support your business goals. By taking the time to understand your unique needs from the get-go, we can build a customized solution.
Our warehouses are fully racked and equipped with top-of-the-line technology systems that are ready to respond to all your warehousing and distribution needs, including providing proper requirements for frozen, cooler, and dry (ambient) storage. As a multi-temperature warehouse provider, we are able to create solutions for customers that integrate all temperatures and we handle a full circle of supply chain requirements from packaging, raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP) to finished goods.
At Bradner Cold Storage, we constantly work to find new ways to improve our workplace for our team members with a focus on work-life balance, a positive work environment, and opportunities for training, learning, self-improvement, and growth. We are proud to say that many of our senior leaders joined our team in entry level positions, learned the business, found growth opportunities within our team, and now have integral roles in developing the future of our company.
