What This Means

Over the past year, our team invested in meaningful infrastructure improvements designed to reduce energy consumption and operate more efficiently, including:

• Upgraded LED lighting systems
• Energy-efficient refrigeration enhancements
• HVAC system optimizations
• Smarter building controls and monitoring

These improvements don’t just lower our energy usage — they help reduce environmental impact while maintaining the high in-store experience our customers expect.

A Commitment to Responsible Growth

As we continue to grow and evolve our brands, we are equally committed to operating responsibly within the communities we serve. Energy efficiency is not a one-time project for us — it’s an ongoing operational priority. We’re honored to be recognized by AES for this work and grateful to our store teams and facilities partners who made these improvements possible. Sustainability and smart operations go hand in hand — and we’re proud to lead by example.

Thank you for supporting locally operated stores that invest back into the communities and environments we share.
