Long Island-based supermarket chain King Kullen has selected Facilio’s Connected Retail software platform to automate its refrigeration compliance management and stay ahead of the upcoming Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory changes, especially the AIM Act Emissions Reduction and Reclamation Regulations.
“The U.S. is facing the biggest shift in refrigerant regulations since they were created in the late ’80s. This regulatory overhaul will cost refrigerant end-users hundreds of millions and introduce unprecedented legal obligations for sectors like convenience stores and supermarkets that previously weren’t impacted,” said Basant Singhatwadia, Facilio’s director of customer success.
“Our holistic refrigeration compliance management platform enables end-to-end compliance management for King Kullen, eliminating compliance risks. The EPA and GreenChill-ready dashboard further simplifies tracking.”
King Kullen, a pioneer in sustainability, was among the early partners to join the EPA’s GreenChill program and has earned recognition in the past for its leadership in minimizing refrigerant emissions and environmental impact.

“With Facilio, we now have full visibility across store assets, and the real-time alerts help us stay on top of events to mitigate any potential compliance risks,” said Stanley Mitchell, VP of engineering, construction and maintenance with King Kullen. “The reporting and analytics part of the platform gives us the data-driven insights we need to take prompt action. All compliance processes are fully automated now. We’re already seeing significant value from this tech deployment.”
The refrigerant compliance management solution, combined with the CMMS and IoT-based remote monitoring capabilities of Facilio’s Connected Retail platform, enables end-to-end management of multi-site food-retail operations. Facilio’s growing retail portfolio includes Tile Shop and Lunds & Byerlys in the U.S. and Robert Dyas in the UK, among others.
