PORTLAND, Ore.--Portland Roasting Coffee Co. was selected as the premium purveyor of coffee at the newly renovated Fred Meyer store located at 3805 SE Hawthorne Blvd. here.
Originally built in 1951, this store will be the first retailer in Oregon, and the first of the Cincinnati-based Kroger Co., which operates 2,500 stores and will apply for LEED Silver certification. "For years, Fred Meyer has been focused on energy conservation, recycling and waste management, so pursuing LEED certification is a logical and exciting next step for us," said Melinda Merrill, director of public affairs for Fred Meyer, in a prepared statement. "When it came time to select our premium coffee purveyor, Portland Roasting rose to the top for its local and global sustainable business practices."
