Who We Are

Your Store Planning Department

Supermarket Technical Service (STS) was founded over 40 years ago by a group of professionals with a combined goal, to provide quality layout design and mechanical design services to niche players in the supermarket industry especially to the independent supermarket owners. We maintain our high standards to detail and ongoing education on new trends, equipment and design.

Our service provides store planning and mechanical system designs services without the expense of an in-house department. We understand the supermarket / specialty food store business and essentially know what it takes to strategically manage a store implementation design. If it’s a remodel or a new store design STS can be your “Store Planning Department”.

Forward Thinking Approach

In the supermarket business the plumbing system is crucial in operating a clean store. Designing the indirect waste system (IWS) with the right air space between equipment drain and IWS hub drain, a “P” trap for every IWS hub drain and the correct location & number of vents for the IWS mains are some of the items needed to limit waste water gases from smelling inside the store.

The precise location of hot or cold water hose bibs for case wash down, case deicing and prep room wash down contributes to maintaining a supermarket that looking new and a clean every day. Prep sinks, mops sinks, grease traps, handicap restrooms and floor drains are some of the other items that round out the plumbing system design.
