Supporting School Nutrition with RATIONAL and Arctic Walk-Ins

Tri-State Marketing is excited to spotlight Pleasant Ave Elementary of the Greater Johnstown City School District in Johnstown, NY, as they welcome new foodservice equipment designed to support their school meal program.

The school recently added a RATIONAL iCombi Pro 20 Full-Size combi oven and Arctic Walk-In Signature Series units, bringing together advanced cooking technology and dependable cold storage to support the daily demands of K–12 foodservice.

Smarter Cooking for School Foodservice

Preparing meals for students requires consistency, efficiency, and the ability to serve large numbers of students on a tight schedule. The RATIONAL iCombi Pro is designed to help school kitchens meet these demands with intelligent cooking technology and versatile cooking capabilities.

From roasting proteins and preparing vegetables to cooking a variety of menu items, the iCombi Pro helps kitchen teams produce consistent results across large batches. Its intelligent cooking systems and automated cleaning options can also help streamline daily kitchen operations, giving staff more time to focus on preparing nutritious, appealing meals for students.

Reliable Storage for Everyday Freshness

Supporting a successful school meal program goes beyond the cooking line. Proper refrigeration and freezer storage are essential for maintaining food quality, managing inventory, and keeping ingredients organized and accessible.

The newly installed Arctic Walk-In Signature Series units provide customizable commercial cold-storage solutions built to meet the needs of institutional foodservice operations. Designed around each facility's specifications, these walk-ins offer the capacity and functionality school kitchens need to store ingredients and supplies while supporting efficient kitchen workflows.

Together, these additions help create a more capable foodservice environment, supporting the preparation and storage needs that keep school meal programs running smoothly.

A Collaborative Effort

Projects like this highlight the importance of collaboration between schools, foodservice consultants, and equipment partners. Tri-State Marketing is proud to recognize Corsi Associates for their role as the foodservice consultant on this project. Working together helps ensure school foodservice facilities have equipment solutions tailored to their operational needs.

We congratulate Pleasant Avenue Elementary School and the Greater Johnstown City School District on their new equipment and look forward to seeing these solutions support their school nutrition program.

At Tri-State Marketing, we're proud to connect schools with foodservice solutions that help their teams work efficiently and serve their communities every day.
