Today is , and it feels like the right moment to reshare a story we’re incredibly proud of.
At White’s IGA, we’ve been working with Advanced Refrigeration Technology for many years on something that’s made a real difference behind the scenes- sustainable refrigeration.
In 2013, we rolled out a prototype of their geothermal water cooling, closed-door refrigeration system across the store at a time when open fridges were still the norm. The results were significant, lower energy use, reduced emissions, and better efficiency across the board.
Since then, we’ve continued to invest in and evolve this technology, working with the team on environmentally sustainable water loop systems and custom-built refrigeration units designed specifically for our stores.
Together, we’ve also created some unique one-off designs, including the “Deli Rosa”, first built for our Peregian Beach store in 2016 and named after Roz. It’s since inspired similar designs across the country.
What started as one prototype has helped shift the way supermarkets think about refrigeration.
