I kind of assume that one must have started out as a front counter display in a convenience store or something, then been sold or salvaged when the store shut down. The glass door and general shape makes it look like a store display, to say nothing of the advertising. Like that glass door compromises the insulation, and as a result more of the overall volume gets devoted to cramming in a bigger cooling setup to compensate, all so anyone walking past can see inside.
It looks like a bar type of thing to me - the barrel lock is a dead giveaway that it's intended to be in a public place that can be left unattended in a larger space like a casino or bowling alley.
Lots of Americans like ads, brands, etc. Phrases like "build one's brand" seem perfectly normal. I had a look at Jimmy Buffet's Wikipedia page the other day. He markets himself as "laid back". In reality he's a businessman who makes music. He has been working hard for many decades to build his brand to incredible levels of financial success. He's got a net worth of ~$1 billion. He didn't get that insane amount of money by lounging in a hammock.
Buffett is one of the world's richest musicians, with a net worth as of 2023 of $1 billion.
That is a viscerally ugly fridge. Why do americans like this crap? Everyone here fucking hates brands. They make everything ugly as fuck.
As a burger, my stance is that if a brand wants me to advertise for them, they better give me their shit for free.

It's meant to be behind a sports bar

I think a lot of his fans are devoted to him for reasons they would never admit to. In American culture - there is a clear worship of fame and money.
His underpaid restaurant employees have been working hard to build his brand to incredible success.
Jimmy Buffet doesn't run a buffet chain.
I'm not American and I'd fucking love to have one of those Coca-Cola branded minifridges
