  • Polish retailer Biedronka has announced that it has opened a new store in Białołęka in Warsaw, equipped with eco-friendly technological solutions.

    The 700 square-metre store uses 100% solar and wind-powered lighting, based on the weather.

    The retailer has installed around 160 photovoltaic panels in the roof and parking space.

    The property also houses an electric vehicle charging station and a Veturilo station for cyclists.

    The store has replaced all paper advertisements with LCD screens, and installed a modern air-conditioning system that operates on natural gases.

    The temperature in the refrigerators and freezers are automatically-monitored to guarantee the highest quality of products, the retailer added.

    The store offers recyclable paper bags for vegetables, fruit, and bread.

    Other Highlights

    The store offers free wi-fi for customers, a special queue detection system, 6 self-service cash registers, as well as an intelligent internal communications system.

    It also houses a self-service corner 'Kawa i Ciacho' for coffee and food items for on-the-go customers.
