In today’s fast-paced retail environment, supermarkets are no longer simply places to shop. They are immersive experiences designed to encourage customers to linger, explore, and enjoy. One of the most important elements in shaping this environment is lighting. The right solution not only ensures energy efficiency and compliance with sustainability goals but also enhances product presentation, drives customer engagement, and reduces operational costs.
