Using Natural Gas Makes Good Sense

In a business where every penny counts, incorporating natural gas where it makes the most sense is a philosophy that Wally Lindeman, Sr. Manager of Facility Maintenance, embraces. Falling natural gas prices continue to play a signifcant role in reducing a store’s overall energy budget. Even better investment results are realized when you factor in CenterPoint Energy rebates which help reduce the installed cost of natural gas equipment. Lund Food Holdings works closely with CenterPoint’s Key Accounts Manager Jennifer Stokes and Foodservice Energy Effciency Consultant Ann Lovcik in monitoring available gas equipment incentives, which can be signifcant.

For 2014 this amounted to savings of over $32,000. Many gas utilities o!er similar programs which can signifcantly reduce the cost of installed natural gas equipment.

Growing the Brands

Operating under multiple brands has enabled the parent, Lund Food Holdings, to continue their expansion plans. With 27 greater Twin Cities locations featuring 6 branded foodservice outlets, the company is positioned to continue opening new locations in the coming years. And natural gas will be there to help fuel their energy needs wherever possible. And those rebates are like “icing on the cake”.

From a professional culinary standpoint there is nothing better than cooking with natural gas.
