‘Green’ Commissary To Serve Fresh Food To 7-Eleven Stores

Chain Leader:

7-Eleven, Inc. gets “fresh” with customers with the opening of the company’s environmentally in-tune Commissary and Combined Distribution Center (CDC) in Bohemia, Long Island. At the new mixed-use facility, fresh foods will be prepared and delivered to 674 7-Eleven stores in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The 130,000-square-foot facility is operated by Norris Food Services in compliance with Department of Homeland Security and Department of Agriculture food standards. More than 250 Long Islanders are employed at the integrated distribution center and commissary kitchen, where daily activities include the creation of a wide variety of fresh foods delivered each day to local 7-Eleven stores.

“The building of the new Commissary and CDC demonstrates 7-Eleven’s approach to providing a broad selection of fresh, high-quality foods in an environment that will conserve energy, water usage and utility costs,” said Joe DePinto, 7-Eleven president and CEO.

Food-processing areas were constructed with thick polymer concrete toppings and contain anti-microbial agents that won’t crack or shear off on the floor. Light fixtures can be changed from outside the room to reduce breakage and eliminate potential room contamination. More.
