Fred Meyer Goes Green in Portland, Ore., with LEED Silver
Fred Meyer, the larger-format grocery and general merchandise chain operated by The Kroger Co., has been awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver certification for its remodeled store in Portland, Ore. It is the first LEED-certified supermarket among Kroger’s 2,500 units nationwide.
The renovation boosted the store’s efficiency. Kroger’s in-house economic analysis determined that for every dollar spend on the project, nine dollars in energy consumption would be saved down the road.
