Fresh & Easy Opens 1st Green Chill Store

Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market on Wednesday opened what it said was the first grocery store in Southern California to use naturally occurring carbon dioxide refrigeration.

The store, located in Rosemead, is Fresh & Easy’s first to be GreenChill certified and is among four stores that the company opened Wednesday, including its 100th location in California.

Fresh & Easy’s "sub critical cascade" CO2 refrigeration system, which is one of only four in the U.S., reduces the impact of the store’s refrigeration on the ozone layer by about 70%, compared with industry standards, according to the chain, which is owned by Cheshunt, U.K.-based Tesco.
