Making A Model of Sustainable Retail Innovation

Hannaford, headquartered in Augusta, Maine and owned by The Delhaize Group of Brussels, Belgium, achieved LEED Platinum certification for its innovative Augusta grocery store.

The 50,000-square-foot store serves as a dynamic laboratory for the company to test pioneering innovations that reduce energy usage, minimize waste, and optimize water consumption. The project boasts an array of green design features, including daylighting, solar photovoltaic panels, and a vegetative and reflective white roof, all provided by IRC Industrial Roofing & Siding and IRC Solar Roof Systems.

Hannaford’s LEED Platinum grocery store represents a remarkable commitment to sustainability and innovation, with a focus on reducing environmental impact while exploring new avenues for sustainable retail practices.
