Tesco Joins Green Pilot Program

El Segundo, Calif., Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, Tesco’s U.S. format, has joined the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) volume-certification pilot program. The program is designed to allow a chain to certify multiple sites under the LEED rating process.

Fresh & Easy will make its debut around Nov. 1, according to a Tesco spokesperson. The company estimates its buildings will reduce energy output by approximately 30% compared to a typical grocery.
