Storms and outages
More than 50,000 without power, and some Glendale homes waited 17 hours
A monsoon storm hit around 8 p.m. on August 9, 2026 with gusts over 50 mph, splitting poles and dropping lines across the Valley. More than 50,000 customers lost power, and many waited over 15 hours. One Glendale resident counted 17, from 8 p.m. Sunday to about 1 p.m. Monday, in a day that reached 104. Neighbors worried about people on oxygen at the Palm Shadows senior community on 51st Avenue.
Seventeen hours is well past any refrigerator's limit, and the same goes for the freezer in a church kitchen or a corner market. A refrigerated trailer with a generator trailer beside it gives a business or a community kitchen cold storage that doesn't depend on APS crews getting to the block.
Large events
Super Bowl LVII put 103,000 out-of-state visitors in Glendale's hotels and restaurants
Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in 2023 had a $1.3 billion economic impact on Arizona, according to the host committee. Nearly 103,000 out-of-state visitors came for the week, over 42,000 of them for the festivities without ever entering the stadium, and hotels ran at 90 percent occupancy. Glendale was the host city for all of it.
A week like that stretches every kitchen in town, and the parking lots around the stadium fill with pop-up hospitality tents. Event caterers in that setting use a 20ft refrigerated trailer as a walk-in cooler that can be set up in a lot, and a mobile kitchen trailer handles the hot food the tents can't.

Garth Brooks sold out State Farm Stadium, and Glendale expected 100,000 visitors
For Garth Brooks's sold-out show in March 2019, about 70,000 fans filled State Farm Stadium, and Glendale expected up to 100,000 visitors in town that Saturday. The stadium's general manager called it the biggest show in the venue's history. City police pointed to the area's restaurants and said many buildings were expanding to seat more guests.
A crowd that size doesn't arrive evenly. It comes in waves around the gates, and restaurants inside a few blocks have to restock in the middle of the rush. A portable 12ft refrigerated trailer behind a restaurant near the stadium adds the cold space for the extra ingredients, and a dishwashing trailer helps keep up when every plate comes back at once.
Large events
The Chocolate Affaire brought 12,000 people to the Civic Center, and came back in 2026
The Chocolate Affaire returned to Glendale Civic Center on February 14 and 15, 2026, free admission and free parking, after drawing more than 12,000 people and over 50 vendors the year before. It mixes chocolate makers, food trucks and live entertainment on a Valentine's weekend.
Chocolate is the temperature-sensitive product of the year. A booth that can't keep ganache, truffles and dipped fruit cold through a warm Glendale afternoon loses its whole weekend of sales. A refrigerated trailer rental parked at the back of the event gives every vendor a shared cold room, and the vendors can restock without carrying coolers across a crowd.
Fires
A strip mall fire at 67th and Camelback took a tax office in tax season
A fire swept through a strip mall near 67th Avenue and Camelback Road in March 2022, and firefighters took more than an hour to control it. Four businesses were damaged: a church, a flower shop, a tuxedo shop and a barbershop, plus Mission Services, a tax and notary business that had been there 15 years. Everything inside was a total loss, and the fire hit in tax season.
A flower shop and a tuxedo rental lose an order book as much as stock, and a flower shop needs cold storage the day after a fire. A 12ft refrigerated trailer in a nearby lot holds cut flowers at the right temperature for the weeks it takes to find a new location, and the same logic applies to any food or floral business that has to keep serving.
Fires
A storage facility fire damaged nearly 50 units and put two firefighters in the hospital
On October 12, 2024 a fire at a Glendale storage facility damaged nearly 50 units, and the Glendale Fire Department raised it to two alarms. Two firefighters were taken to the hospital. The facility's name and the cause weren't reported.
Small businesses often keep stock in storage units between events, so a fire like this one can cost an owner their inventory. A business that loses its space needs somewhere to put what's left fast. A 20ft refrigerated container is one option for stock that has to stay cold, and it can be delivered to the owner's lot until a permanent site is found.
Buc-ee's opened in Goodyear on June 22 with the parking lot open at midnight
Goodyear is about 22 miles southwest of Glendale.

Fires
Grand Avenue closed for 15 hours while a recycling yard burned
The recycling yard fire near 62nd and Myrtle avenues on August 12, 2023 sent a smoke plume hundreds of feet up, visible for miles. Power lines came down along Grand Avenue, and the road was closed between 59th and 67th avenues until the next morning, about 15 hours later. Drivers were sent to 51st and 71st avenues and Maryland Avenue.
A closed highway cuts off deliveries to every business on it, and a restaurant waiting on a truck of dairy can't wait out a 15-hour detour. Having a refrigerated trailer already on site means the next delivery can go into the trailer, and a generator trailer keeps it cold if the downed lines take the power with them.

VT 101 industrial park: 750,000 square feet near Westgate
Developers broke ground in May 2024 on VT 101 industrial park near 107th Avenue and Camelback Road in Glendale. The full park will total 750,000 square feet across three buildings. Phase one covers 48 acres and two 156,000-square-foot buildings, scheduled to finish in April 2025.
Industrial parks are where food distributors and other cold-chain tenants often land, and a tenant can need temporary cold storage before its own is built. A 20ft refrigerated trailer can bridge the move-in, and the crews building the next phase can use a refrigerated container for their own lunches and drinks.

The VAI Resort has 1,100 rooms planned and a Mattel park next door
Glendale's VAI Resort is a planned 60-acre complex with 1,100 rooms, four hotel towers and an 11,000-seat amphitheater, still under construction after repeated delays.

A project of that size has years of crew meals behind it and a long run of hotel and restaurant openings ahead. For a hospitality build, a refrigerated trailer rental works as temporary cold storage for the kitchens that open first, and a mobile kitchen trailer can feed staff during training weeks before the permanent kitchens pass inspection.

Openings like this one usually come with a meal. A mobile kitchen trailer lets volunteers or a caterer cook for the residents' first week, and a 12ft refrigerated trailer holds the food until the site's permanent kitchen is done. It keeps the move-in day simple for the people moving in.
