A sunny, energy conserving Giant opens in Manchester

Giant Food Stores has blended energy saving technology into their new Manchester, Pa. store.

Skylights are balanced with florescent lighting automatically.

As the store gets darker from cloud cover, the lights automatically compensate. On a sunny day, the main overhead lights stay off.

The freezers are illuminated with strips of white LED lights and LED arrays are used in several display lights. The freezers also are designed not to use heaters in the doors to prevent fogging.

Water-free urinals cut down on water use and sewer plant processing.

Locally grown vegetables cut energy to transport produce long distances and push money into the local economy.

The grand opening is tomorrow.
