Commercial refrigeration and kitchen equipment repair for the restaurants, saloons, venues and lodging of the Fort Worth Stockyards, from Exchange Avenue to Mule Alley.

The Stockyards National Historic District covers 98 acres, roughly bounded by 23rd, Houston and 28th Streets and the railroad, about 2.5 miles north of the Tarrant County Courthouse. Exchange Avenue is its main street. Restaurants, saloons, Western retail, entertainment venues and a hotel operate here out of historic brick buildings, several of them dating from the early 1900s.
For businesses in the district, we repair walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in refrigerators, ice machines, cooking equipment and kitchen exhaust hoods. In a building that has been converted for restaurant use, a condensing unit or ice machine may sit in a back room, on a roof or behind a bar, so tell us where yours is and how the technician should reach it.
The Herd’s twice-daily cattle drive is part of daily life in the district. When you book, say what time suits your kitchen and where a service vehicle can stop to unload tools. The written estimate comes before any repair, and nothing is ordered or replaced without your approval.

A coin toss settled the packing-plant sites, with construction beginning in 1902, and by 1917 the Stockyards was the largest horse and mule market in the world. Activity peaked in 1944, when 5,277,496 head were processed. Armour closed in 1962 and Swift in 1971, and the district was listed on the National Register on June 29, 1976.

Billy Bob’s Texas on Rodeo Plaza is billed as the world’s largest honky-tonk, with almost three acres under one roof.
When a walk-in rises above safe holding temperature or the ice machine quits before a shift, both inventory and service are on the line. Call and tell us what the equipment is doing and what is stored inside.
Tell us when you book. Share the address, which entrance to use and whether there is a back door, alley or loading area for service vehicles. If the equipment is upstairs, on the roof or in a back room, say so, because that changes what the technician carries in.
