Alexandria Opens WinterFête With Ice Skating and New S'mores Bonfires
Alexandria's 2025 WinterFête began on December 4 with a Christmas tree lighting and a parade led by the city's police department. The opening-night attractions included free ice skating, visits with Santa and a new addition: bonfires where visitors could roast s'mores.
The festival was scheduled to continue through December 6 in downtown Alexandria. A city planning document anticipated roughly 25 food vendors alongside arts-and-crafts sellers and the locally focused Indie Village. For a vendor serving a busy winter crowd, refrigerated trailers can be considered when the menu's perishable stock exceeds the booth's available storage.
KALB's opening-night report described residents drawn by the rink, bonfires and sense of community. Music and food accompanied the seasonal activities, giving families several reasons to stay downtown after the lights came on.

Winter Storm Viola Leaves Alexandria Repairing Power and Water Systems
Back-to-back winter storms disrupted Alexandria's utilities in February 2021. The city said Winter Storm Viola left about 3,300 customers without electricity on February 17. Crews completed restoration to affected city customers the following day, while work continued to stabilize the water supply.
Electrical losses at water-production facilities had reduced output and pressure, prompting a citywide boil-water advisory on February 17. By February 18, power had been partially restored to the city's wells in Kisatchie National Forest, allowing production to begin improving. For a kitchen coping with both interruptions, cold storage and dependable water service are separate requirements in any reopening plan.
The city's update emphasized refilling storage tanks and rebuilding system pressure as more wells returned to operation. Electricity restoration was an important step, but it did not immediately resolve every part of the water emergency.

Coliseum Boulevard Walmart Plans New Refrigerated Cases in Major Remodel
The Walmart Supercenter at 6225 Coliseum Boulevard in Alexandria began a major remodeling program in July 2025. The announced work extended inside and outside the store, with new paint, lighting, signage, parking-lot improvements and an expanded online grocery pickup area.
The food departments were part of the plan. Upgrades included additional grocery aisles, a new bakery oven and new refrigerated cases for the deli and bakery areas. Those cases bring cold storage directly into the shopping-floor changes, alongside a wider assortment of food items.
Other planned improvements included a redesigned pharmacy with a health room and privacy area, remodeled restrooms, changes to the checkout area and a refreshed employee break room. Store associates planned a community celebration once the renovation was complete, marking the finish of a project intended to update both shopping and daily store operations.

Freddy's Opens a New Freestanding Restaurant in Alexandria
Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers opened its Alexandria restaurant on November 7, 2024 at 1802 A MacArthur Drive. The company described a 2,795-square-foot freestanding building with 98 indoor seats, additional patio seating and drive-through service.
The location added another dining option along MacArthur Drive's retail corridor. Its menu centered on cooked-to-order steakburgers, all-beef hot dogs, shoestring fries and freshly churned frozen custard. For a kitchen combining hot food and frozen desserts, cold storage is part of the daily routine from delivery through preparation.
The opening announcement also included mobile ordering through the company's app and website. Franchise owner Brandon Thompson pointed to the corridor's steady traffic and surrounding businesses as reasons for choosing the location. The finished restaurant brought a new building and a different food-service format to that stretch of Alexandria.

Alex Winter Fête Plans a Food and Arts Marketplace in Downtown Alexandria

Thunderstorm Winds Near Forest Hill on May 23, 2013
A severe-weather report was logged about 1.78 miles east of Forest Hill on May 23, 2013 after strong thunderstorm winds affected the area. The archived observation reads, “A few trees were blown down in Woodworth, one of which landed on a house causing minor damage.” Where a food operation’s usual storage was unavailable, refrigerated containers could become part of a temporary operating plan.
Hurricane Delta Brings Street Flooding and Power Repairs to Alexandria
Hurricane Delta brought torrential rain and hurricane-force wind gusts to Alexandria on the night of October 9, 2020. The city's next-day update reported significant flooding and about 3,100 customers without electricity during the storm. By noon on October 10, fewer than 1,000 remained without service.
City drainage pumps operated through the downpour, including supplemental equipment on Prescott Road. Officials said the pumps helped prevent additional flooding and that water had come close to forcing a shutdown of the Prescott Substation. When flooding interrupts access to a food-service building, refrigerated containers may offer temporary storage at a dry, accessible site once conditions allow.
The city cited National Weather Service radar estimates of roughly 8–10 inches of rain across Alexandria over Thursday and Friday, with higher isolated totals. Recovery combined electrical repairs, drainage work and the gradual reopening of flooded streets.

Dinner on the Bricks Opens Alexandria's 2026 River Fête
Downtown Alexandria filled with food vendors, music and families as Dinner on the Bricks opened the 2026 Alex River Fête on April 30. KALB reported a strong turnout despite earlier concerns about rain, with both regular attendees and first-time visitors joining the evening. A musical performance on the steps of City Hall added to the opening-night program.
The three-day festival continued through May 2. Its official schedule included art and retail stalls, Indie Village, a luminary procession, a classic car show and Que'in on the Red. Saturday's program gave visitors a chance to taste barbecue and vote in the People's Choice competition. With food service spread across a long festival day, cold storage for uncooked ingredients becomes part of the work behind each booth.
The mix of meals, performances and local art made the riverfront gathering much more than a single concert.

Plan around the Alexandria address.
A project in Alexandria starts with the same practical questions: which functions need to remain available, how the trailer can reach its placement, and how utilities will connect.
- Share the site and storage needs
Send the address, start date, expected rental length, what needs to stay cold, its holding temperature, and the approximate quantity.
- Review the unit and site requirements
We match a refrigerated trailer or container to the product and space, then review power, placement, access, and any mobile kitchen or dishwashing support.
- Confirm the quote and delivery plan
Availability, rental terms, delivery, and setup are confirmed in your quote before the unit is scheduled.
Fire-Suppression Malfunction Temporarily Closes Alexandria's Texas Roadhouse
Alexandria's Texas Roadhouse temporarily closed on August 1, 2024 after its fire-safety system malfunctioned. Kitchen manager Adam Landry told KALB that the system discharged chemicals onto food and across the kitchen that morning, even though there had been no fire.
A notice at the entrance explained the closure, while workers cleaned the affected area and repaired the system. During a kitchen interruption of this kind, clean replacement ingredients still need appropriate cold storage while preparation space is made ready for service again.
The restaurant hoped to reopen at 4 p.m. for dinner, once cleanup and repairs allowed service to resume. The malfunction had interrupted the day’s operations even though the building had escaped a fire.

Smalls Sliders Opens a Container-Built Restaurant on MacArthur Drive
Smalls Sliders marked its arrival in Alexandria with an October 28, 2024 ribbon cutting at 1406 MacArthur Drive, behind Chick-fil-A. The restaurant used the brand's distinctive orange shipping-container construction, with a drive-through lane and a walk-up window.
The menu kept the operation focused on cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders, fries and shakes. Even in a compact modular building, cold storage remains part of the everyday kitchen work behind beef, cheese and dairy-based drinks.
A separate grand-opening celebration was scheduled for November 2. That program was also set to recognize Peabody High School educator and coach Charles Smith, linking the new business's debut with a longtime figure in the Alexandria community.

Thunderstorm Winds Near Pineville on September 19, 2010
On September 19, 2010, strong thunderstorm winds generated a local storm report about 0.46 miles west-southwest of Pineville, in Rapides Parish. NOAA’s event narrative records, “Alexandria Town Talk reported a microburst struck portions of southern Pineville near the Red River.” For food businesses facing an interruption, keeping walk-in coolers powered would be part of the same recovery effort as clearing the damage.
Dutch Oven Cooks Planned Demonstrations and Tasting at Indian Creek
The Central Louisiana Dutch Oven Cookers scheduled a December 2, 2023, gathering at Indian Creek Recreation Area in Woodworth.

Olive Garden Project Plans a New Building at Former Johnny Carino's Site
Plans for an Olive Garden in Alexandria called for a complete change at the existing Johnny Carino's restaurant site. In March 2025, KALB reported obtaining a contract from the Rapides Parish Clerk of Court's Office showing that the old building would be demolished and replaced with a new Olive Garden.
The project was expected to cost more than $3 million. It followed Johnny Carino's announcement that its Alexandria restaurant would close on March 31 after more than 20 years in the city. A new restaurant build also needs a coordinated kitchen fit-out, including cold storage for the ingredients that arrive before opening service.
With demolition included in the construction agreement, the project would give an established dining location a new building and restaurant brand.

Alexandria Restores Essential Services After Hurricane Laura
Restoring electricity to water pumps, medical centers, hotels and businesses was an early priority in Alexandria after Hurricane Laura. In its August 28, 2020 update, the city reported that power had returned to 12,700 customers by 5 p.m., roughly half of its approximately 25,000 electric customers.
The storm had also disrupted water service. A citywide boil-water advisory remained in place, and nine of 16 water pumps had electrical service restored by the same afternoon. For kitchens waiting on utility repairs, emergency cold storage with an independent power source can be part of the effort to protect perishable supplies while normal operations are assessed.
Crews were repairing the system and clearing storm damage throughout the city. Officials said more heavily damaged neighborhoods could take longer to reconnect because of the amount of repair work required.
