Claim:
An island merchandiser comprising: a first merchandiser module including a first case having side walls and a rear wall at least partially defining a first product display area, and a refrigeration system coupled to the case and including an evaporator in communication with the first product display area to maintain the first product display area within a temperature range at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit; a second merchandiser module positioned next and coupled to the first merchandiser module, the second merchandiser module including a second case having side walls and a rear wall at least partially defining a second product display area, the rear wall of the second case in communication with the rear wall of the first case, the second merchandiser module further including a refrigeration system coupled to the second case and including an evaporator in communication with the second product display area to maintain the second product display area within a temperature range of approximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 41 degrees Fahrenheit; a third merchandiser module positioned next and coupled to the first merchandiser module and the second merchandiser module, the third merchandiser module defining one of an ambient temperature module and a high temperature module, the third merchandiser module including a third case having side walls and a rear wall at least partially defining a third product display area, the rear wall of the third case in communication with one of the side walls of each of the first case and the second case; a fourth merchandiser module positioned next to the first merchandiser module and the second merchandiser module opposite the third merchandiser module, the fourth merchandiser module defining one of an ambient temperature module and a high temperature module, the fourth merchandiser module including a fourth case having side walls and a rear wall at least partially defining a fourth product display area, the rear wall of the fourth case in communication with the other of the side walls of each of the first case and the second case; a first insulation panel positioned between the first and second merchandiser modules and the third merchandiser module to inhibit heat transfer between each of the first and second product display areas and the third product display area; and a second insulation panel positioned between the first and second merchandiser modules and the fourth merchandiser module to inhibit heat transfer between each of the first and second product display areas and the fourth product display area, wherein at least one of the first insulation panel and the second insulation panel includes double-paned glass, and wherein each of the first insulation panel and the second insulation panel limits heat transfer between conditioned air in each of the first and second merchandiser modules.
