Grease Guardians at the Forefront of Dunnes Stores’ Sustainable Revamp in Cork

The newly renovated Dunnes Stores on Patrick Street is now more than just a shopping destination; it’s an example of modern efficiency and environmental responsibility, thanks to the installation of advanced grease management systems – Grease Guardian.

As part of the store’s extensive makeover, which combines the traditional grocery experience with a boutique food market, Dunnes Stores has placed a strong emphasis on sustainability and cleanliness. The revamped grocery department, inspired by the ‘Posh Dunnes’ in Bishopstown, features a range of upscale options, including artisan cheeseboards, a hot food counter, freshly prepared seafood, and an in-house sushi bar. With such a diverse range of food offerings, maintaining high standards of hygiene and waste management is crucial.

Central to this effort are the seven newly installed Grease Guardian D Series Automatic Grease Removal Devices, which efficiently manage and filter fats, oils, and grease, preventing blockages and ensuring the smooth operation of the store’s extensive food preparation areas. Alongside these, a number of ST8 Food and Coffee Waste Strainers have been installed to protect the store’s plumbing from food waste, further enhancing the sustainability of the operation.

The Patrick Street location has always been a cornerstone of the community, and with these new measures in place, it’s set to lead the way in sustainable shopping.
