How do you reduce your energy costs running a 24×7 Convenience Mart operation?

If you are the owner of an ‘always-open’ Convenience Mart, it is highly likely that one of your highest expenses is annual energy spend. With rising energy costs, how can you minimize risk to protect the vitality of your store?

The answer is proactive energy management.

Proactive measures must be taken to mitigate energy costs while protecting your profit margins. Adopting a technology-based energy management system is key to the success of an effective energy saving strategy, regardless if you are operating a corporate or an owner-driven store.

R3 Retail Development provides turnkey design strategy, including equipment procurement and controls installation to help you achieve those goals. We will work tirelessly with you to manage your energy program while addressing proactive, reactive and preventative maintenance plans. We also help identify and develop employee best practices, and create system set point strategy designed to improve the efficiency of your operation.

In the world of produce, freshness matters most. Do you understand how your refrigeration cases should work to keep your product looking, smelling, tasting, and selling at their very best?

Produce markets are unlike other grocery stores, as the term ‘produce’ itself generally implies farm fresh products with the goods often being grown in the state in which they are sold. Produce Markets require varying levels of humidity and temperature controls for a wide range of fresh foods in order to maintain and extend quality, freshness, and saleability.

Just as important as managing coolers, to effectively implement your merchandising strategy and make your product ‘pop’ you need specialty lighting and purposeful displays.

Likewise, maybe you are expanding and plan to add a new location. Do you really have time to run a full-blown construction project while you deal with everyday business needs?

R3 Retail Development is ready to take this stress from your plate, ensuring your new site is perfectly configured to accommodate your unique needs and design specifications, freeing you to do what you do best – run your produce market business.

How do you bring a sense of personality to your conventional store and reduce costs? Feeling challenged in deciding how to maximize your merchandising potential with limited space and a limited budget?

Trust the experts at R3 Retail Development to help you identify the departments or offerings to prioritize as the critical foundation of your business. With this new information and alignment achieved, we’ll then be able to create an entirely new store space design strategy, aesthetic and environment ranging from a complete remodel to a minor refresh of your look, all with a goal of maximizing profits and enhancing the reputation of your brand.

The consistent goal is to increase sales while reducing expenses.

You don’t have to do a complete remodel to get to this. We will examine the lowest producing departments and figure out a merchandising strategy that fits within your budget. We look at your highest expenses and make recommendations to assist you in implementing strategies to reduce costs.

In short, we leave no stone unturned, inspecting everything from energy and equipment efficiency, to costs of floor maintenance, repair and replacement. Over the years we have found that one of the highest expenses for Conventional Grocers is flooring. Before you contact the local flooring contractor, let us help you determine which flooring will hold up to grocery traffic volume, has the longest life cycle, and determine which is most cost effective over time to keep in service at your store.

There are so many options out there. Trust the experts at R3 Retail Development to help you determine the critical path to achieving the best option for your unique operation.
