The John Riley Group was chosen to upgrade (7) Food Lion Shopping Centers in North Carolina and Virginia over the last year. More so than any other American grocer, Food Lion is spending millions to upgrade their store infrastructure and improve their overall customer experience.
The upgrades consisted primarily of parking lot fixtures, under-canopy store-front lighting, and building mounted fixtures. The safety and security improvements are significant, with impressive new light volume and quality. And five-year energy and maintenance savings exceeded, on average, $96,000.00.
Each center averaged 30-36 high-output pole-mounted fixtures, 15-30 “wallpacks” and floods, and 75-150 under-canopy fixtures. Our crews were able to complete each location in three days or less.
The utility rebate, which we filed on behalf of the customer, often exceeded $9,000.00, resulting in an average simple payback period of 24 months or less.
The overall improvements and savings made a compelling case for pursuing these projects.
We were gratified to receive this note from the owner of the management company:
“After an exhaustive search to select a lighting company to convert our traditional halogen lighting in our parking lots at several shopping centers we selected The John Riley Group. Everything from their insight of the products, responses to additional inquiries and the proposed solution was extremely helpful. Once selected they performed the conversion in a very efficient manner and followed up quickly on an outstanding matters. I look forward to working with them again!”
