Flō works as an innovation partner with all types of food retailers, collaborating with the owners and engineers to consolidate the best of these technologies to design guaranteed solutions.
Big Box Supercenters
The sheer size of big box retailers combined with the fact that they carry a huge variety of goods requires bespoke, energy efficient climate control strategies.
Large Supermarkets
With their diverse space conditioning requirements, large supermarkets present one of the most complex applications for humidity control.
Supermarkets
The most important considerations in supermarket HVAC and refrigeration systems are humidity, indoor and outside air temperature and the movement of shoppers and employees.
Small and Discount Grocery
These smaller footprint stores have shoppers expecting neighborhood convenience and more fresh food at better value.
Food Retail Landscape
Urban Markets
Neighborhood grocery stores have been a welcome addition to urban centers where the formula for success is simple: great customer service, fresh, local foods, low prices and a fast shopping experience.
Drugstores
Over the past decade, pharmacy chains have been increasingly shifting into selling refrigerated food, creating a new set of challenges and requirements for traditional retail pharmacies.
Dollar Stores
Over the years the food selection in these discount stores has steadily increased and with this shift comes new environmental needs to reduce standard temperature cooling and remove moisture.
Convenience Stores
Convenience stores are quickly becoming mini grocery stores as they expand their refrigerated foods and meals-to-go offerings, leading to escalating humidity problems and immense energy demands.
