Hi Don,

Let me lay out 3 options and their respective advantages (+) and disadvantages (-):

Option 1:  Visit ConAgra
(+) Nearby:  Russellville, Arkansas
(-) Installation is planned for about 3 weeks from now depending on ConAgra's contractor schedule; therefore you would see a very new unit (so you would not be able to observe any wear patterns; the unit will look brand new and will operate like a brand new unit)
(-) The installation type is likely not as similar to a Walmart application, since it is for a food processing room
(-) You will not be able to open the unit to examine the structure and components (as it will be in live operation)

Option 2:  Visit Miami Duty Free Americas (warehouse at the Miami airport)
(+) The unit has been in operation for several years, so you can observe a typical wear pattern and speak with the customer about their maintenance and operation history / cost
(+) The application is more similar to a Walmart (possibly DC or Sam's Club) installation, just smaller
(-) Will require travel for your team
(-) You will not be able to open the unit to examine the structure and components (as it will be in live operation)

Option 3:  Examine mobile unit in Bentonville
(+) You can open the unit to see the components; we can explain each of the components and how they fit together and operate, and then operate the unit for you so you can feel the impact
(+) Saves you the trouble of travel
(-) You will not be able to observe it operating in a live setting (unless you choose a contained un-conditioned space in Bentonville - it will just be reconditioning your already conditioned interior space)

I hope that helps, please feel free to call me to discuss (203-428-5680).

Best,
Hannah

Hannah,

Please clarify the benefits or advantages between our visiting the ConAgra installation in Russellville, AR vs your bringing a portable unit to us.

Thanks

Dear Walmart team:

Thank you for taking the time to meet with us yesterday.  We very much appreciated the opportunity to present our companies and product lines to you.  We hope you found the discussion useful, and thank you for your in-depth questions and interest.

We look forward to following up with your team.  Please let us know if you would like us to help coordinate a visit to one of our installations, and/or if you would like us to bring one of our mobile demonstration units to your location.  

Sincerely,
