• a first case section supported by the base and defining a first product display area and a first air passageway having a first airflow inlet and a first airflow outlet in fluid communication with each other, the first air passageway supporting at least a portion of a refrigeration system including an evaporator, the first case section further having a second airflow outlet in communication with the first airflow inlet via a bypass channel;
• a second case section supported by the base and positioned adjacent the first case section and defining a second product display area, the second case section including a glass panel through which the second product display area is visible;
• a fan positioned in the first air passageway to generate an airflow through the first airflow inlet toward the evaporator, the airflow separated into a first airflow portion and a second airflow portion at or upstream of the evaporator, the first airflow portion configured to flow through the evaporator and through the first airflow outlet, and the second airflow portion configured to bypass the evaporator via the bypass channel and flow through the second airflow outlet such that the second airflow portion is uncooled by the evaporator,
