Cold Storage
Cold Storage Solutions in San Antonio
Auge Cold Storage operates three temperature-controlled warehouse facilities across San Antonio, TX — covering the north, southeast, and central corridors of the city. With over 162,000 square feet of refrigerated, frozen, and dry storage space, we provide food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers with the cold chain infrastructure they need to keep perishable products moving safely and on schedule.
Family-owned and operating since 1996, we handle short-term and long-term storage, cross-docking, refrigerated transport, and final mile delivery — all under one operator with our own fleet. One contract covers the full cold chain from dock to destination, with no third-party handoffs where temperature and accountability break down.
Cool Warehouse Operations and Temperature Monitoring
Our refrigerated warehouse facilities maintain precise temperature zones to match the requirements of the products you store. Cooler space runs between 33°F and 44°F for products that must stay cold without freezing. Frozen storage is held at 0°F for commodities that require fully frozen conditions throughout the storage period.
Climate control is continuous across all three facilities. Temperature is actively monitored to prevent variance — whether a load has been sitting for 24 hours or three months. When you move product in or out, the cold chain doesn't break.
Because we operate our own fleet for refrigerated transport, the temperature continuity extends beyond the warehouse door. Storage and transport use the same operator, which eliminates the handoff points where product temperature most commonly goes wrong.
Chill Chain Compliance for Perishable Goods
Perishable food products are subject to strict federal and state food safety regulations. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) imposes requirements on the storage, handling, and transport of food, including documentation of temperature conditions and proper facility practices. Our operations are structured around these obligations.
We maintain the time and temperature records required for cold chain traceability — documentation that demonstrates product was held within compliant ranges from the point it entered our facility. For food manufacturers and distributors subject to FDA oversight, that documentation is not optional.
HACCP-aligned thinking is built into our handling procedures: we identify the critical control points in temperature-sensitive storage and make sure they're managed correctly. For pharmaceutical, produce, or perishable grocery shipments where compliance documentation is a requirement of your customer contracts or regulatory obligations, our facilities are equipped to support that.
Food Storage and Cool Cargo Handling
We store a wide range of temperature-sensitive products, including fresh produce, meat and seafood, dairy and beverages, processed foods, and pharmaceutical products requiring refrigerated conditions. Dry and frozen goods are also handled in dedicated spaces that prevent cross-contamination.
All product moves on pallets. We receive full truckloads and can accommodate LTL consolidations. Case picking and pallet staging are available for loads that need to be broken down or reconfigured before outbound movement. Load restacking and shift correction — for freight that has moved in transit — are standard services across our locations.
Industries we regularly serve include food manufacturing, grocery retail, QSR supply chains, beverage distribution, produce distribution, and meat and seafood logistics. If your operation depends on cold storage as part of its supply chain, we work with businesses of all sizes — from single-truck operators needing emergency overflow space to regional distributors with standing monthly storage needs.

-
Our posted hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. In practice, our customers regularly reach us outside those hours — including nights, weekends, and holidays. Multiple reviews document after-hours and emergency service calls where our team was available to receive freight, transfer loads, or store product when no other option was available. If you're in a bind, call us.

Yes. Our operations align with FSMA requirements for temperature-controlled storage and the handling of perishable food products. We maintain temperature records and support the documentation requirements that food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers need for cold chain traceability. Our facilities have been handling food products since 1996. If you have specific compliance documentation requirements, discuss them with us before your first shipment.
-
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we handle. Reviews across all three of our San Antonio locations document emergency calls from truckers with breakdowns, distributors with unexpected volume, and operators who need same-day or after-hours storage access. We have three facilities, which means we have capacity options when a single-location operator would be full. Call (210) 640-9940 for emergency availability.
-
Yes. We operate our own fleet of refrigerated vehicles for intrastate Texas transport, which means we can manage the full move: receive product at our facility, store it at the correct temperature, and deliver it — all under one contract with one operator. This integration eliminates the temperature gap that occurs when separate vendors handle storage and transport independently. See our refrigerated transport and final mile delivery pages for details.
