DAYTON, Ohio — Lund Food Holdings Inc., parent company of Lunds and Byerly's supermarkets, is deploying a new point-of-sale solution featuring two-sided thermal receipt printing from NCR Corporation to support its sustainability efforts and improve operational efficiencies.
Lunds and Byerly's supermarkets join the growing ranks of retailers recognizing the environmental and operational benefits of two-sided receipts. The patented NCR RealPOS Two-Sided Thermal Printer simultaneously prints on both sides of a thermal paper receipt, reducing paper consumption by up to 40 percent. This can result in less energy being consumed by paper production and distribution, as well as less waste disposal, air emissions and wastewater.
"We are always exploring ways in which we can reduce our waste and energy consumption," said Aaron Sorenson, spokesperson for Lund Food Holdings. "Through the implementation of NCR's two-sided thermal receipt printing at our Lunds Plymouth and Byerly's Maple Grove stores we will continue to further reduce our environmental impact."
Lund Food Holdings operates 21 Lunds and Byerly's supermarkets in and around the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. In 2006, Lunds and Byerly's launched an online shopping service with home delivery and drive-thru pickup.
