Abstract

A mobile device for storing, moving, and insulating a beverage includes a base wall, one or more side was attached to the base wall, and a top wall attached to the top of the side all. The top wall has an opening for receiving a beverage container and may include insulating material to assist in maintaining a beverage at a desired temperature. The base wall is provided with retractable wheels to allow the device to be readily moved from one location to another on a floor of other surface. The walls of the device may include advertisements, decorative material, or other printed matter. A remote control is provided to wirelessly operate the device. A drawer for storing items is formed in the side walk.

Claims
