Store manager Kevin Russell and his team of 600 employees worked for months toward one goal: to dazzle customers with incredible service, selection, and low prices, from day one. At 138,000 square feet, the Northborough store has plenty of room for the 70,000 products it offers – about twice the average number for traditional grocery stores, according to industry figures. Yet its one-of-a-kind look is meant to telegraph a warm, welcoming feeling that’s almost cozy. As shoppers move through the store, they’ll have a sense of visiting different shops, as one would in a European village. Each has eye-popping displays of abundance, 19 WinCo The store utilizes a number of “green” technologies which create real energy efficiencies and save between 5% and 25% on refrigeration, heating, cooling and lighting the store and the product cases. These innovations reduce the store’s carbon footprint and reduce the potential for ozone depletion from refrigerants. WinCo Foods operates 80 stores and four distribution centers.
