In recent years in the convenience store (CVS) marketplace, competition between different store chains has intensified due to market saturation by the growing number of stores. The percentage of stores that are newly opened has been decreasing, and daily sales have not showed much growth. Accordingly, in order to differentiate itself from the competition, each chain develops new articles for sale and at the same time makes efforts to pursue better freshness control, improved product presentation and higher sales efficiency of existing articles such as prepackaged lunches, prepared foods, beverages, deserts and ice creams. Moreover, due to the growing awareness of environmental conservation, CVS companies are promoting environmental measures such as the acquisition of ISO 14000 certification, reduction of power consumption in stores, recycling of article containers, and the utilization of new types of refrigerant in air-conditioners and refrigerators. Under such circumstances, Fuji Electric has developed a new series of remote condensing-type ultra-slim, open refrigerated display cases for CVSs, the "EFT 40" series. This series is environment-friendly and provides excellent presentation and handling performance.
