One of the more exciting parts about our expansion is selecting equipment for the store (did you know some commercial dishwashers can wash a load in less than a minute!). As we consider our equipment needs for the new store, we are guided by our principle of sustainability, both environmental and financial.
First, we are reusing as much of our current equipment as we can. While it would be nice to have all brand-new appliances, it doesn’t make sense to purchase new appliances when we already have appliances in great working order.
For those appliances that we know we will need to purchase, we are selecting energy-efficient models and conducting extensive research to find the best prices.
Finally, we are currently looking for nearby storage to house our equipment during construction. If you have ideas, please let us know! Contact Melissa at Melissa@bluff.coop or 507-452-1815.
