CREATING FRESH AND CONVENIENT SHOPPING EXPERIENCES
Today’s shoppers are driven by more than just stocking their pantries. Shopping has become an experience fueled by healthy lifestyle choices, food exploration, and the social component of sharing meals. We design grocery stores, food markets, and convenience stores with that customer experience in mind. In addition, we also design the “behind the scenes” facilities that serve these stores such as distribution centers and refrigerated warehouses. We know what it takes to seamlessly integrate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, with other critical systems such as refrigeration, fire protection, technology (telecom/security), and lighting with a sustainability lens.
