Benefits For Retailers
Why Grocery Retailers Love The Idea
Higher Profits
No Cost to Build
There is no investment for the retailer, only an obligation to purchase the freshest food imaginable.
Lower Cost
We offer many products at lower wholesale prices than comparable products shipped thousands of miles.
Higher Gross Margins
No shipping or storage results in longer shelf life and less shrink, which produces higher gross margins.
Food & Fuel Inflation Hedge
A long-term fixed-price contract protects the retailer from volatile prices, rising oil costs and inconsistent supply.
Better Food
No Storage or Shipping
No shipping or storage results in produce that is fresher, tastier, more nutritious and more attractive.
Fanatical Customer Service
BrightFarms delivers produce at equal or higher service levels than the retailer currently requires of its other suppliers.
Food Safety
Producing food in the controlled environment of rooftop greenhouses physically segregates the entire system from the sources of food contamination.
Environmental Impact
Dramatically Lower Resource Use
A BrightFarm produces food with a fraction of the land, water and fossil fuels.
Integrated Pest Management and No Agricultural Runoff
BrightFarms use integrated pest management and recirculating systems produce no run-off.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Sourcing produce from BrightFarms enables grocers to dramatically reduce their supply chain’s greenhouse gases.
