Supermarket News reports on a new suburban Philadelphia grocery store featuring refrigerators that rarely leak and are easy to fix, making them better for the environment.
Joe and Mary Miller, owners of KTM Supermarkets -- the company that operates this ShopRite store and another a few miles away -- made sustainability a priority in everything from the products to be sourced to the construction of the store itself, which just opened in October.
The fact that the 67,000-plus-square-foot store was built from the ground up made it easier to put in all the systems the owners wanted from the very beginning, (operations director Jim) Madanci said.
Pennsylvania-based AMF Sales & Associates and Conyers, Ga.-based Hill Phoenix worked with KTM to design refrigerated cases that would present products well, but also would meet the Environmental Protection Agency's GreenChill Gold standards for sustainable refrigeration.
