Construction Begins on the First Eco and Health Conscious Convenience Store
The convenience store of the future is under construction in Hollywood. Locali Conscious Convenience is being built to LEED standards and is set to open its doors this fall. The market, located at 5825 Franklin Avenue, seeks to make healthy eating and eco-friendly household necessities easily accessible to those on the go. Roughly translated from Italian, locali means "community" or "where it's happening."
Los Angeles, CA, September 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The convenience store of the future is under construction in Hollywood. Locali Conscious Convenience is set to open its doors this fall. The market, located at 5825 Franklin Avenue, seeks to make healthy eating and eco-friendly household necessities easily accessible to those on the go. Roughly translated from Italian, locali means "community" or "where it's happening".
A hip version of the mom and pop corner store, Locali will also be a place for people in the community to connect with each other and their food sources. There will be an emphasis on local and organic food artisans, producers and growers in the inventory line up. However, refined sugar, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup and genetically modified products will be missing from the shelves.
“I like to describe it as the sustainable version of 7-11. We’ll have healthy and eco-friendly versions of the all the typical things you’d find at a convenience market…with the exception of cigarettes and lotto tickets…No clean versions of those,” said Locali CEO Greg Horos. “We’re building to LEED standards and working with the city of Los Angeles to make sure we can supersede those standards as much as possible. We have a lot of terrific value adds for the community. I’m most excited that we’re offering exclusively organic and biodynamic wines and beers, too.”
Besides the energy efficient building measures and appliances, Locali Conscious Convenience will also provide for the disposal of compost, in addition to recycling waste. A percentage of their proceeds will benefit a variety of local and international charities geared towards improving overall wellness. The retail space is being designed by MASS Architecture & Design.
