We’re committed to working towards a greener, more sustainable future every day, in every store. With the help of our Sustainability Coordinator and Green Guru team, we’re constantly improving our environmental impact through eco-friendly actions like reducing water and energy usage, recycling, diverting food waste, donating to local nonprofits and more. It’s not always easy being green, but it sure is worth it!

Around here, we like to say we SEE sustainability, which means...
- Social Responsibility: taking care of people
- Environmental Stewardship: taking care of the planet
- Economic Vitality: taking care of business (sustainably speaking)
As part of our ongoing efforts to champion sustainability, we equipped eight of our stores with Bloom Energy fuel cells! These state-of-the-art fuel cells provide certified clean energy 24/7, even when the power grid suffers interruption. Generating our own power with Bloom Energy eliminates 4.6 million pounds of CO2 from the environment annually. That’s the equivalent of removing 438 cars from the road, saving 225,000 gallons of gasoline and growing 2,300 acres of forest annually!
