Shaw's Supermarkets, Inc.
New Britain, Connecticut













65,000 sq. ft.

Large, glass panels that let in plenty of light help create an inviting entrance to this supermarket. At night, the bright, well-lit entry, 26 ft. high, helps the store stand out among others in the area.

The design represents a new prototype for the supermarket chain and has a modern, yet traditional, New England look. Brick details and white trim establish a friendly atmosphere and visually break up the expanse of the long building.

Ease of construction is a key design element, since a quick turnaround helps the company meet marketing and sales goals. Equally important is easy maintenance and durability, especially in the complex electrical and mechanical systems that are required.
