When M&M Meat Shops began
to evaluate new competitive
strategies, it explored various
store improvement projects that
would enhance their shoppers’
experience, build the bottom
line and could be replicated
across all 430 of its Canadian
franchise locations.
• More than 150 stores have already
replaced traditional T10 fluorescent
lighting in vertical cases.
•
Annual savings to increase considerably
by upgrading 430 of its locations
across Canada.
“ It shows our customers we’re bright, clean and modern. It’s all about the ‘wow’ factor.”

The Situation
The Solution
After evaluating lighting
options from five different
manufacturers, Stater Bros.’
retail marketing team chose
GE’s refrigerated display
lighting to replace the 60-watt
fluorescent fixtures in
freezer cases.
• Immersion RV LED lighting system was
selected to replace fluorescent lights
in the frozen-food cases at nearly all
of the retailer’s grocery stores.
• New LED lighting from GE will help
Stater Bros. supermarket chain save
in annual energy and maintenance
expenses as a result of retrofitting its
refrigerated display cases.
‘’We’ve received great feedback from customers and store managers. Our managers tell us the new
lighting really makes their products pop.”

Operates more than 600 convenience
store/gas station locations
The Situation
The Solution
In 2006, utility budgets were
increasing 12-15% over a
5-year period across Wawa’s
600 convenience stores.
Because lighting accounted for
30% of electrical usage, Wawa
needed a solution that would
significantly reduce energy costs.
• Since installation, they have reduced
energy and maintenance expenses
by a combined 78%, leading to
$1.2 million in combined annual
savings – approximately $2,000
per store.
• Project payback of 26 to 28 months.
“GE was the right partner with the best solution who we knew would stand behind its product.”
– Scott Boorse, Energy and Petroleum Operations Manager Wawa
