FAL Cash'n'Carry is where UniSFA buys most of the stock for the Fridge. Located in Balcatta, it is a bit of a trek from UWA, but the drive is made worthwhile by the wholesale prices, enabling UniSFA to make a reasonable profit while still providing copious Chocolate and other snacks.

Coke is notably one of the few staples of the fridge not purchased from FAL, as supermarkets generally sell soft-drinks below cost price as a loss-leader. As such, Coke will generally be cheaper from one of the supermarket chains than from FAL.

Wonkavision was won in a competition involving buying insane amounts of chocolate from FAL.

In 2004, FAL shareholders voted overwhelmingly to de-merge the company into wholesale and premium retail divisions. The wholesale business was sold to Metcash and the premium retail stores were sold to Woolworths. The remaining Action stores are currently in limbo, being managed and owned by Metcash for the time being.
