  • (1888PressRelease) March 30, 2011 - Eco-story, a leader in LED lighting solutions, today announced its partnership with Ansara Restaurant Group, one of Red Robin International's largest franchise organizations. The project involved the installation of approximately 3,500 Eco-story LED lamps and is expected to achieve more than 1 million kilowatt hours of savings annually, which translates into more than $117,000 saved in utility costs per year. In addition, the switch to Eco-story's LED lights will save about 524 tons of carbon dioxide annually, which is equivalent to removing about 100 cars from the road each year.

    Eco-story supplied Ansara Restaurant Group with LED par 20, par 30, and par 38 lamps for the interior of the restaurants and some exterior applications. The installation was complete in February 2011 and the restaurants are already realizing savings. Ansara Restaurant Group expects a return on investment in approximately 10 months from the installation. The majority of the stores will receive utility rebates and more than half received rebates of 50 percent of the lamp and installation cost.

    "We worked closely with Ansara to ensure they had a customized product that fit their need for high quality light and also offered energy savings," said Bill Stauffer, co-founder of Eco-story. "It's great to see the positive financial and sustainable rewards they have already realized in their stores since our installation."

    Ansara Restaurant Group, based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, is a family-owned leader in the restaurant industry. The company was founded in 1961 and currently has more than 22 restaurants nationwide.

    Eco-story, based in Portland, Maine and with an office in Denver, has a strong track record of manufacturing quality interior lighting for restaurants, retail stores and hotels. Eco-story's LED lights have proven to be a money-saver for businesses over traditional incandescent lamps, while retaining the look and ambiance businesses desire.
