Overview
In partnership with OZCoolers, Hussmann Australia delivered a sustainable and high-impact refrigeration solution to support the expansion of Little Sister Bakery at the bustling Chadstone Shopping Centre.

Background and Challenge
Little Sister Bakery—a vibrant and growing Melbourne-based artisan bakery—was preparing to launch its newest café in Chadstone. The brand, known for its creative, market-inspired focaccias and sourdoughs, required a refrigeration solution that aligned with its ethos: simple, sustainable, and standout.
They were looking for:
- A plug-and-play unit with minimal installation complexity
- Eco-conscious refrigeration to match their sustainability values
- A solution that was aesthetically aligned with their open-style café
- Efficient access and product visibility for their novelty grab-and-go offerings
- Low maintenance and long-term operational efficiency
Given the site’s heavy footfall and the bakery’s focus on freshness and presentation, the solution needed to be both visually appealing and functionally robust.
