Pretoria notes on cold rooms & commercial
Pretoria West around the Tshwane market, the factories of Rosslyn and Silverton, and cold stores in Waltloo run large refrigeration plants, while hospital and government kitchens need cold rooms that never stop. Restaurants in Hatfield, Brooklyn and Menlyn and butcheries in Pretoria North keep display fridges and walk-ins busy.
