    "body": "<p><strong>On Friday 27 June, the Okay store in Crisn&eacute;e will reopen its doors on Chauss&eacute;e Verte following extensive renovation works. With a surface area of 650&nbsp;m&sup2;, the local supermarket now reflects the new-generation store design, including a revamped bakery corner, a refreshed freshmart, additional refrigerated units and a redesigned checkout area where customers can now also pay quickly and easily using the new Assisted Self-Checkout zone. The renovation placed particular emphasis on improving the customer experience and reducing the environmental footprint. Store manager S&eacute;bastien Van Der Straeten and his team are excited to welcome customers back.</strong></p><h4 id=\"expanded-range-of-fresh-products\" >Expanded range of fresh products</h4><p>The Okay store in Crisn&eacute;e has been modernised. This fresh new layout allows customers to navigate more easily through the wide range of fresh products. S&eacute;bastien, store manager: <em>&ldquo;In the updated freshmart, it&#039;s easier to make your selection from our extensive range of fruit and vegetables, dairy products, meat, cold cuts, fish and freshly prepared dishes &ndash; all of which are central to what Okay stands for. In addition to the freshmart, we now have extra refrigerated units offering a broad selection of meat, fish and veggie appetisers &ndash; perfect for a family aperitif or a get-together with friends.&rdquo;</em></p><h4 id=\"modernised-bakery-corner-and-more-energy-efficient-freezers\" >Modernised bakery corner and more energy-efficient freezers</h4><p>At Okay Crisn&eacute;e, our employees bake high-quality bread, pastries and rolls several times a day, which are then displayed in the newly designed bakery corner. <em> &ldquo;The frozen food section has also been improved: customers can now find their favourites more easily thanks to our new, energy-efficient chest freezers with glass lids. We also renovated the checkout area to make payment even faster and easier,&rdquo; </em>adds S&eacute;bastien.</p><h4 id=\"new-assisted-self-checkout-system\" ><strong>New Assisted Self-Checkout system</strong></h4><p>The checkout zone has been completely revamped to offer an even quicker and smoother shopping experience. <em>&ldquo;The key innovation is the introduction of two Assisted Self-Checkout stations,&rdquo; explains S&eacute;bastien. &ldquo;They allow customers to scan and pay for their groceries quickly and easily themselves.&rdquo;</em></p><p>Thanks to these upgrades, the in-store experience has clearly improved in Crisn&eacute;e. <em>&ldquo;Our 11 employees are highly motivated. They look forward to helping customers explore all the new features. They&rsquo;re all local, and for them, a warm smile and top-quality service are at the heart of the Okay shopping experience.&rdquo;</em></p><h4 id=\"minimum-environmental-footprint\" >Minimum environmental footprint</h4><p>Like the rest of Colruyt Group, Okay places great importance on sustainable store renovations, aiming for the smallest possible environmental impact. All of our stores &ndash; including Crisn&eacute;e &ndash; run on green energy and no longer use fossil fuels. Our eco-friendly refrigeration system reduces CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 90% compared to conventional systems. Furthermore, residual heat from refrigeration is reused to heat the store.</p><h4 id=\"easy-to-access\" >Easy to access</h4><p>Okay Crisn&eacute;e is ideally located on the Chauss&eacute;e Verte, a major road linking the E40 motorway exit to the town centre. \u200b As a result, the store is easily accessible for everyone. The spacious car park with 56&nbsp;spaces is also equipped with 2&nbsp;charging stations for 4&nbsp;electric vehicles. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Need photos for your article?
