Deliver & Store — Logistics Made Simple
Contact BrisbaneContact Perth
Est. 1987 · Brisbane & Perth

We learned cold chain through chocolate manufacturing.

Deliver and Store is a 100% Australian owned, family-run third-party logistics business operating from Deception Bay in Brisbane and Welshpool in Perth. We started in 1987 as a chocolatier, spent decades distributing premium confectionery — including as a Lindt Wholesale Distributor since 1999 — and turned that hard-won discipline into cold storage, picking and packing, and refrigerated transport for food businesses across Queensland, Northern NSW and Perth metro.

Chocolate is unforgiving. It blooms, softens and marks if the temperature drifts even briefly. Building a distribution network that premium chocolate brands would trust meant getting temperature, handling and timing right every single run — and that is the standard applied across our cold chain program.

Our history

Nearly four decades of temperature-sensitive freight.

1987

Chokeby Road

The business starts as a chocolatier — handmade chocolates for wholesale and retail. Everything since has been built on handling product that ruins if it gets warm.

Chocobel

Trading as Chocobel, we built a national confectionery wholesale footprint — spanning Victoria, NSW, WA, SA, and Queensland — with brands such as Guylian, Anthon Berg, and Callebaut. These core brands earned us our reputation in premium chocolate, though most were phased out when our partnership with Lindt took centre stage at the end of the decade.

The Lindt partnership

Our confectionery expertise earns an agreement with Lindt as a Lindt Wholesale Distributor. That relationship has continued since 1999.

Welshpool acquisition

We expanded our WA footprint with the acquisition of a major facility in Welshpool, adding extensive coolroom infrastructure purpose-built for our 3PL operations.

Retail stores expansion

We grew our retail stores to 6 outlets, including our flagship 2 storey outlet in the centre of Perth’s CBD.

Deliver and Store created

Deliver and Store becomes the 3PL distribution arm of the group. Drawing on three decades of cold-chain experience with our own brands, the operation launched to provide food and confectionery clients across Queensland and Northern NSW with integrated cold storage, pick-and-pack fulfilment, and refrigerated transport under one roof — bringing on key partners including Cadbury and Butterbing from day one.

Sister company

YowieTech, our logistics software sister company

Most logistics companies buy their software. We build ours. YowieTech is the technology arm of the group, and its product, the YowieTech Route Planner and Cost Calculator, is built for cold-chain delivery.

It plans multi-stop runs, dispatches drivers with a link — no app to install — and handles live vehicle tracking, proof of delivery, cold-chain temperature reporting, CO₂ reporting, and profit on every run.

The point for you: the system tracking your delivery is the one we built for our own trucks, and we fix it ourselves when it needs fixing.
