The number of people allowed inside and in lines will vary from store to store depending on the size of the store. It will be the store managers judgement of the safe number of customers allowed inside. Customers should be aware they may be asked to remain outside briefly. We ask cooperation and understanding from all.
Customers are being encouraged to use credit cards for purchases and discouraged from using cash. These are Department of Health guidelines. Store clerks will wear sanitary gloves and sanitize the checkout area after each transaction.
