Case Study: Starbucks achieves a nationwide lighting upgrade with Facility Solutions Group

FSG performed turnkey lighting upgrades in over 8,000 Starbucks retail stores

The retail operator Starbucks faced the challenge of upgrading outdated, early-generation LED lighting across its vast network of over 8,000 stores to meet its sustainability goals. They required a trusted partner to manage this massive, continent-wide project efficiently. Facility Solutions Group was selected to perform this extensive lighting retrofit.

Facility Solutions Group implemented a complete turnkey solution, managing the entire project from identifying the best new LED products to nationwide installation, completing the upgrade for 8,300 stores in just eight months. A key innovation was FSG's development of a first-of-its-kind recycling program that responsibly repurposed or disposed of the old lamps. The measurable impact of this $19 million project was a significant enhancement to the stores' energy efficiency and lighting effectiveness.
