cold store
Chilled storage facility
A cold store is a refrigerated warehouse or room for preserving perishable goods at low temperatures.
The term is more common in British English than American, where cold storage dominates: The meat went straight to the cold store after processing.
To put something in cold storage is to postpone it indefinitely.
