The store was located in Shougang food court, which was designed and built according to the zero carbon emission and zero energy consumption standards of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), an international green building certification. It is expected to be certified 12 months later, and will become the first zero carbon food court in China, and the first restaurant in the Asia Pacific region to obtain both certifications.
