Keeping our stores clean and safe:

  • We’ve always been proud of our stores’ cleanliness and operations, and we know that keeping them clean and sanitized is now more important than ever.
  • In addition to our daily cleaning efforts, we’re increasing the amount of time that is spent cleaning and sanitizing our stores, especially in our most frequented areas such as checkout lanes, restrooms, and associate break rooms. The bottom line is that we want you to feel comfortable shopping in our stores.

We insist: Prevention is Key. Here are a few tips to help stop the spread:

  • Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with a hydro-alcoholic solution or soap and water.
  • Keep at least one meter away from someone who is coughing or sneezing.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Follow respiratory hygiene rules and make sure that people around you do the same. If you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with the crease of your elbow or with a tissue and throw away the tissue immediately afterward.
  • If you have flu-like symptoms, such as a fever of 100.4°F (37.8°C) or higher, stay home. Consult a physician and follow local authorities’ instructions.
