LUFKIN, Texas — Brookshire Brothers, which operates 72 supermarkets in Texas and Louisiana, recently launched a facility-wide lighting update including in-store, parking lot, exterior signage and refrigerated case fixtures.
Using a myriad of new linear fluorescent lighting and LED technologies from GE Lighting, East Cleveland, Ohio, Brookshire Brothers will, once all of its stores have been completed, reduce its annual operating costs more than $235,000.
“When we looked at options to impact our total energy costs, we identified several areas at different stores where new lighting, including LED fixtures, made a compelling case, both indoors and out,” said Eric Johnson, director of construction for Brookshire Brothers, in a statement.
