    Abstract: A refrigerated merchandising storage unit for display and sale of foodstuff or the like is disclosed comprising a storage compartment having an essentially rectangular top opening, the storage unit further comprises a cover including a plurality of lids for being arranged displaceably for opening the storage unit and a rail system with two or more mounted rails arranged between two opposite sides of the opening. Each rail comprises a number of elongated and generally U-shaped tracks wherein each of the lids are arranged to be mounted between a first and a second rail adjacent to one another. The first rail comprises a first track and the second rail comprises a second track, and the rails are arranged such that the lid can be mounted by displacing an edge of the lid inside the first track until the opposite edge of the lid can be inserted inside the second track. The storage unit further comprises a retainer arrangement provided near said first track or said second track and said lid for retaining the lid in that track. The retainer arrangement comprises a latch fixed to the lid and a protrusion fixed to that track, the latch and the protrusion being arranged such that when lateral extraction forces are applied to the lid in a direction away from the track, the latch and the protrusion are forced into abutment producing a holding force so that a separation of the lid and the track is prevented.
