The checkout area has also been redesigned.</strong> <strong>Additionally, sustainability was a major focus during the renovation.</strong> <strong>Customers at Colruyt Alsemberg can now enjoy an even more pleasant shopping experience \u200b at the lowest prices. They can also once again make use of the revamped Collect&amp;Go pick-up point.</strong> <strong>A team of 38 store co-workers and 11 butchers is ready to welcome customers and introduce them to the renewed store.</strong></p><h4 id=\"optimised-shopping-route-and-renewed-butchers-department\" ><strong>Optimised shopping route and renewed butcher&rsquo;s department</strong></h4><p>Shopping at Colruyt Alsemberg is now even more pleasant and efficient, thanks to an optimised shopping route that spans over 2,000 m&sup2;. </p><p>Cold sliced meat is now stored in transparent, closed fridges that emit significantly less CO\u2082. Store manager Frederik Elsoucht adds another advantage of the upgraded butcher&rsquo;s section: &ldquo;Thanks to the open workshop, customers can see our butchers at work. This makes it easy for them to ask questions or request special orders.&rdquo; </p><p>At the end of their visit, customers will notice that the checkouts and payment units have been lowered, making it easier to speak with co-workers in the open checkout area</p><h4 id=\"welcome-back-to-collectgo\" ><strong>Welcome back to Collect&amp;Go</strong></h4><p>In Alsemberg, customers can once again visit the upgraded \u200b Collect&amp;Go pick-up point. Collect&amp;Go is Colruyt Group&rsquo;s convenient online grocery service. Customers simply send their shopping list via <a href=\"https://collectandgo.be\">collectandgo.be</a> or the Xtra app. \u200b Our co-workers then prepare the order to be picked up at the selected time.</p><h4 id=\"extra-focus-on-sustainability\" ><strong>Extra focus on sustainability</strong></h4><p>The store in Alsemberg is now equipped with energy-efficient LED lights with motion sensors, which help save up to 30% on energy. The residual heat from the refrigeration system is recovered by the ventilation system and reused to heat the store &ndash; up to 75% is recycled in this way. In the car park, there is a \u200b covered bicycle shelter with 11 extra-wide bike racks. Electric vehicle drivers can charge their cars at one of the four available charging points while they shop.</p><h4 id=\"open-house-evening-on-tuesday-6-may\" ><strong>Open house evening on Tuesday 6 May</strong></h4><p>Gerant Frederik Elsoucht: &ldquo;We and the entire team of 38 store co-workers and 11 butchers \u200b are looking forward to welcoming back our customers.
