Save-On-Foods will operate with reduced hours beginning Thursday and designate the first hour of the day for seniors and those with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting March 19, Save-On-Foods stores will open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to everyone, while the hour from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. is being dedicated to senior shoppers, those with disabilities or who are vulnerable.
The reduced hours will also allow staff adequate time to sanitize and clean stores. The new hours apply to all 178 stores in four provinces and one territory.
"It is not business as usual and my amazing team of 21,000 members has a big job to do as they work around the clock to replenish the items our customers need," said Save-On-Foods president Darrell Jones in the statement.
"As always, Save-On-Foods will continue to work hard to safeguard the health of our team members, our customers and our communities. We have never seen times as turbulent and as uncertain as these and we are so proud of the great work our teams are doing."
