Reducing our Carbon Footprint

Low Carbon Store

We are always looking at ways to improve energy efficiency in our stores and help reduce the impact on the environment. Our store in Stephenson Drive, Leicester is our first carbon store, the store is packed full of greener design features such as:

Installation of sun pipes
LED reactive lighting
Remote chillers
Fitting doors to fridges
Recycling bins

These new features have given us an overall energy saving of over 40% compared to a similar sized new store. This is enough energy to...

Kettle

Boil a kettle 454,000 times

Washing Machine

Run over 25,500 washing machine cycles at 30°C
