We’re adjusting our hours

In an effort to continue with our safety measures, and ensure we’re sanitized and restocked for the next day, some of our stores have adjusted their hours. Many are also devoting the first hour of operations to those most vulnerable and those who require extra attention, particularly seniors. Please visit the store home page or contact your local store for more information on store hours.

Steps to protect our teammates and our customers

We are doing everything we can to keep our teammates and customers safe in our stores. We will continue to assess and implement new measures as needed. To date, we’ve:

• Reduced store hours to allow more time for extra sanitization efforts and stocking our shelves.
• Installed plexiglass cashier shields as a safeguard to protect our teammates and customers.
• Added extra resources to the frontline, enabling cashiers to wipe down common areas even more often.
• Created a process for employees to sanitize in between every customer and wash hands every 15 minutes.
• Installed floor markers at check out to help facilitate a two-metre distance between customers.
• Installed directional arrows for one-way traffic flow to ensure physical distancing.
• Introduced “Seniors Shopping Hour” for the first hour of the day, providing the most vulnerable among us with a dedicated time to shop for goods.
• Cancelled all product demos and sampling events.
• Encouraged all teammates who feel sick to stay home, and implemented the procedures recommended by health authorities for those who have travelled or have been exposed to others who have travelled. We’re supporting our teammates who need to be away from work because of self quarantine or to care for family members at home so they do not need to choose between their health or family and their incomes.
