As part of a $50 million remodeling project at four supercenters in the Dayton market, Meijer announced said its Beavercreek store is the company’s first to feature all-LED lighting, saving the company more than a half million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.

The GE LEDs being used inside the store are 30 percent more efficient and have a lifespan that is 50 percent longer than traditional lighting. Additionally, GE’s exterior lighting is 70 percent more efficient than lighting typically used in retail settings. In total, the all-LED lighting system will save an estimated 600,000 kilowatt-hours per year, the company said.

The Beavercreek supercenter is considered a test store for this high-tech lighting and could be used as a model for future construction, according to Meijer Engineering and Construction Director Mitch Boucher.

Work on the Beavercreek and three other Dayton-area stores began in April, and is being completed in multiple phases so the stores can remain open during the construction process. The project is slated to be completed in early November and will provide each store with a new facade, remodeled gas station and drive-through pharmacy, the company said.
