WINSTON-SALEM, NC — Lowes Foods has been honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its energy-saving efforts. Five of its supermarkets have received the Energy Star® label, which recognizes buildings that are among the top 25% in the country in terms of energy performance.
“Reducing energy consumption is a priority for Lowes Foods,” stated Gary Watson, vice president for business support. “It takes a tremendous amount of energy to operate a supermarket — for lights, refrigeration, and to run computerized checkout systems. By finding ways to eliminate energy use, we contribute to a healthier environment in the neighborhoods in which we do business, and operate our stores more efficiently.”
