About

Pioneer in smart cooler door technology and in-store retail media at point of purchase

Cooler Screens is a retail technology and advertising company that replaces traditional glass doors on refrigerated coolers in retail stores with smart, IoT-enabled digital screens. These screens display product information, pricing, promotions, and third-party advertising while maintaining the ability for shoppers to see the products inside. The platform creates a retail media network that allows brands to advertise at the point of purchase in grocery stores, convenience stores, and other retail locations. The company operates at the intersection of retail technology, digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising, and retail media networks. By digitizing cooler doors, Cooler Screens provides retailers with a new revenue stream through advertising while offering enhanced customer engagement through interactive displays. The platform uses sensors, cameras, and AI to deliver personalized content and measure customer engagement and conversion. Cooler Screens has partnered with major retailers including Walgreens, Kroger, and GetGo, installing thousands of digital cooler doors across the United States. The company has positioned itself as a pioneer in transforming traditional retail infrastructure into digital advertising inventory, though it has faced some challenges including legal disputes with retailers over contract terms and operational performance.
