GreenChill Store Certification Program
GreenChill’s Store Certification Program for Food Retail Stores recognizes individual stores for using environmentally friendlier commercial refrigeration systems. A food retail store can achieve platinum–, gold–, or silver–level certification. Any food retail store in the United States, whether in the design phase, remodel phase, newly constructed, or fully operational, can apply for GreenChill’s Store Certification Award. The process is free, quick, and easy. To learn more, check out the GreenChill Store Certification Program Fact Sheet.
How to Certify your Store
Step 1: Select the appropriate application form for the store in question. If the store is not yet operational, or if it has been operational for less than 6 months, fill out the “Newly Constructed Stores” form. If the store has been in operation for at least 12 months, fill out the “Operational Stores” form. If the store has been in operation for 6-12 months, or if the store is a remodeled store, please contact GreenChill to determine which form needs to be filled out (Keilly Witman: 202-343-9742).
