Since 2007 Clarion has been helping Gold Star expand their food distribution capabilities across the country. Clarion was pleased to complete the new cold room buildout with 16,000 sq. ft. freezer, 5,500 sq. ft. cooler, and 6,800 sq. ft. cold dock. Gold Star Foods wanted an affordable and reliable solution for their new Idaho location, so freon A2L units were the ideal choice. The buildout also includes a dock office, truckers lounge, check in, station and employee restrooms. All construction was completed on time and within budget. Clarion wants to thank Gold Star for another successful project.
