About - Georgia Cold Storage

Georgia Cold Storage Company was founded in the 1960's with one of the original founders being Henry L. Crisp. Henry and his family still own the company and he currently serves as Chairman of the Board. In 1998 his son, John L. Crisp came to work for the company and now serves as President and CEO. The original peanut cooler warehouse was in Americus, Georgia with the Blakely, Georgia warehouse being purchased in 1999. In 2002 the Columbus warehouse was purchased and subsequently we began serving the poultry exporting industry in Columbus and Americus. In 2005 the Crisp family started a sister company named "Gulf States Cold Storage Co.". This company initially purchased warehouses in Andalusia, Alabama and Dothan, Alabama.
