McCaffery's Turns 20

Looks like McCaffery's supermarket has been feeding Princeton for 20 years. The cake's probably been consumed by now, but the annual Food Showcase continues until 5pm today, under the big tent in the Princeton Shopping Center courtyard.

Having a store of McCaffery's size right in Princeton not only makes it easy to avoid a drive out to Route 1, but the store itself has made great strides environmentally in recent years, reducing both its energy use and trash volume by half, through updating of equipment, recycling and foodwaste composting. I'll come up with more exact figures in a subsequent post, but the savings the store has achieved through these initiatives should be serving as an inspiration for all of us.
