We are getting the word out about Frigitek! Last month I attended the Restaurant Leadership Conference in Scottsdale, AZ. It was an incredible experience, and many of those I met are very interested in saving energy and saving money in their commercial refrigeration.
Kathi outside Nando's
I immediately felt a connection with representatives of a restaurant that is fairly new to the United States, but has a footprint of over a thousand restaurants worldwide. It’s called Nando’s, the home of legendary, Portuguese flame-grilled, Peri-Peri chicken. (More about the food later).
Nando’s is expanding their restaurant base here in the US, so I knew Frigitek would be a great technology to help them save money, save energy and go green. I discovered, while listening to the president, that the company supports initiatives that address the malaria problem in Africa. In partnership, Nando’s will be distributing thousands of insecticide-treated anti-malaria nets, malaria prevention information leaflets, books, and reading glasses throughout Africa. I knew I had to talk with one of their team.
I was able to show our Frigitek demo unit to Burton Heiss, and he was really interested. Nando’s is committed to reducing the amount of energy that they use, so after a number of phone conversations with Burton after arriving home, I hopped in the car and drove with Kathi to Washington D.C. and visited the Nando’s restaurant close to the White House.

We closed the deal, and Nando’s will be installing Frigitek motors and Frigitek controllers in that restaurant. Our hope is that, when they see realize the savings, they will install the motors and controllers in all of their restaurants, and maybe even spec them for future buildouts.
A serendipity of the Nando’s deal is that their food is fantastic! When Burton asked us what we thought of the Philadelphia market, we told him it would be a great place to open a Nando’s. We’re hoping…
So, another deal closed, with great opportunity for expansion.
