Big Y Opening Eco-Friendly Flagship

Northampton, Mass., Big Y is set to open on Thursday a newly reconstructed 66,000-sq.-ft. flagship in Northampton, Mass., that will feature “state-of-the-art energy efficiencies both inside and out,” the chain said in a statement.

In addition, the store’s drainage systems are designed to remove sediment and oil from storm water, preventing spills and surface pollution from entering downstream lakes and rivers.
