Shoppers Invited to Visit Transformed Iowa Fareway Store
Fareway Opens Solar-Powered Store in Lisbon, Iowa
Fareway Stores Inc. has expanded its footprint with a new store in Lisbon, Iowa, located at 930 Commercial Street. The store, named Fareway Meat and Grocery, officially opened on July 9 and offers self-checkout services, curbside pickup, and an onsite Cabin Coffee.
CEO Reynolds Cramer stated that Fareway is committed to serving vibrant communities of varying sizes. The store's renovation features new displays, equipment, and a solar array on the roof, hinting at a potential solar power implementation. However, specific details about the solar power project and its benefits are yet to be confirmed.
Brandon Siggins, the Lisbon city administrator, welcomed Fareway to the community at the grand opening, which was attended by Fareway executives and local officials. The store was previously owned by Brother's Market and was acquired by Fareway in March.
Fareway Stores Inc. employs more than 13,000 associates across its 140 stores, which are located in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota. The company is ranked No. 87 on The PG 100, Progressive Grocer's list of top food and consumables retailers in North America.
The general benefits of solar power implementation by retail stores include reduced electricity costs, decreased carbon footprint, enhanced corporate environmental responsibility image, and possible local incentives or tax credits for renewable energy adoption. However, without specific data, these benefits cannot be confirmed or elaborated upon for the Lisbon store.
Shoppers are encouraged to check Fareway Stores' official communications, local news outlets in Lisbon, or contact the store management or the company’s corporate sustainability office directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the solar power implementation in Lisbon.
