This is Lane Beattie president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Metro Business Report.
Smith's Food & Drug Stores has opened its 37TH Smith's Express fuel station in Utah, located in the parking lot of the Smith's store at 9th South and 8th East in Salt Lake City.
The fuel center is the first to incorporate a courtesy charging station for customers driving electric cars to "top off" their battery levels while shopping. In addition, Smith's also installed equipment to allow for the future possibility of solar panels to power the fuel station and the sale of natural gas at the pumps.
Smith's uses state-of-the-art technology for the safety and efficiency of its fuel centers. Added measures include double-walled fiberglass reinforced plastic tanks with 24 hour alarm monitoring systems, a vapor recovery system that captures fumes from fuel trucks at delivery, and canopy lights that direct light downward so not escape beyond the service area.
