About Barksdale
A refrigeration shop that works nights
Annette Barksdale started the company so grocers had a technician who picks up. Thirty-five people now cover racks, cases and walk-ins across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa.
Our crews work in stores that never get a quiet hour: trucks at dawn, a lunch rush, stock work at night. We schedule around that, and we write down what we found.
