    Check's Premium Ice has been serving Cheyenne and surrounding regions for over 40 years. Their experience includes long-term vendor relationships with major retailers, a decade as the official Cheyenne Frontier Days ice supplier, and consistent support for weddings, construction, and wholesale customers. At Check's, this longevity reflects their reputation for reliability and community service throughout Wyoming and Northern Colorado.
  • What type of ice does Check's Premium Ice produce?

    Check's Premium Ice Company produces bagged cubed ice manufactured at their Cheyenne facility. The same product quality that supplies major grocery chains like Albertsons, Walmart, and Safeway is available directly to consumers and businesses, ensuring a consistent, commercially produced ice rather than small-batch alternatives.
  • How does buying ice by weight actually work?

    The self-serve merchandiser weighs exactly how much ice you select and charges you based on that amount at the current rate of two dollars per ten pounds. You see the total before completing payment, so there's no guessing or paying for a fixed bag size that may be more or less than you actually need.
  • Why is wholesale ice cheaper than buying retail bags?

    Retail bagged ice passes through a distributor before reaching store shelves, adding markup at each step. Buying directly from Check's — the manufacturer — removes those middleman layers entirely. The per-pound cost is lower because you're accessing manufacturer pricing, the same structure large commercial buyers have traditionally relied on.
  • How is an ice trailer set up at an event venue?

    Check's delivers the trailer to your venue before your setup window begins and positions it for convenient access by your bar or catering staff. No assembly is required on your end. After the event, they coordinate pickup so your venue isn't left managing equipment return or storage.
  • When should a job site use water pallets vs. ice?

    Water pallets are best for individual hydration — each pallet delivers 1,920 individual bottles ready to hand out to crew members. Bagged ice is better for cooling large coolers or food. Most construction sites in Cheyenne use both: bottles for drinking throughout the shift and bagged ice for communal coolers at break stations.
  • Can independent retailers compete with chain stores on ice?

    Yes — Check's provides independent gas stations and liquor stores the same free merchandiser equipment and delivery model used by major chains like Walmart and Target. You don't need a corporate purchasing department or high minimum orders to access the same supply structure, making ice a realistic profit line for smaller operators.
  • Does Wyoming's dry climate affect how fast ice melts?

    Yes. Cheyenne's low humidity and wide daily temperature swings accelerate ice sublimation compared to more humid climates. Ice left in open coolers or outdoor displays depletes noticeably faster, which is why businesses in the region benefit from a local manufacturer who can restock quickly rather than relying on distant distributors.
  • Is there a minimum order for retail vendor ice accounts?

    No minimum order is required for vendor accounts. Check's structures retail partnerships around your store's actual sales volume, adjusting delivery frequency to match your traffic rather than imposing a purchasing floor. Liquor stores and privately owned gas stations benefit from the same per-unit pricing model as high-volume accounts.
  • What makes Check's ice different from a vending machine?

    Unlike standard vending machines that dispense pre-packaged units, Check's self-serve merchandiser dispenses ice by weight directly from a manufacturer-stocked unit. You're accessing the same commercially produced ice that fills grocery store freezers — fresh from a 40-ton-per-day facility — without retail markup or fixed bag-size constraints.
  • How far in advance should construction sites schedule ice delivery?

    Most construction accounts can be set up with relatively short lead time since Check's runs scheduled delivery routes throughout their 200-mile service area. Reaching out before your project's ground-breaking is ideal to confirm merchandiser placement and delivery frequency, especially for summer projects in Cheyenne when regional demand peaks.
