These are some of the measures we are taking to insure the safety of our customers. All employees are wearing gloves and masks that are dealing with the customers. We are putting markers on the floor in front of service counters and checkouts to let people know to stay back 6 feet. We clean our hand baskets and rolling carts with a bleach pressure washer regularly. We  enlarged the space between the checkouts.  Most of the time there is no wait. Our cashiers are cleaning their pin pads regularly. Our customer bathrooms have eight sinks in each.  We have hand sanitizer available at different locations in the market. We have employee bathrooms and hand wash stations all over the building that are monitored for cleanliness, sanitizer and soap daily. We have hygiene checks being done before we open using special biological swabs to make sure our equipment is being cleaned and sanitized correctly. We have temperature checks on our refrigeration equipment continually. We have a sanitized air washer system that maintains 62 degrees and 65% relative humidity in the market constantly. All the air in the market production and selling areas is cycled through this air washer system every 10 minutes. Higher humidity makes viruses less able to be transmitted. This is why during the summer we do not get the flu as much compared to the dryer conditions during the winter. All pollen and other particles are washed out of the air. Outside air is being continually added to our system. This system is unique for a retail environment. We have been working seven days a week to make the market function given these difficult times for our customers and suppliers. We have maintained our inventory these last weeks so there are very few shortages of the products we normally carry. Our restaurant is closed. The market is large enough so people can maintain their own distances from each other. We have seen our customers be very courteous to each other in this regard. The market is not as busy on the weekends as it was. The business is spread out all during the week because people have more time to shop. The least busy times are around lunch and dinner hours. The busier time is in the mornings from 9-11. We are open 9-9 seven days a week as usual.  All of us are learning how to adapt to this new environment. We are committed to providing high quality fresh food at the best price possible in a safe environment for our customers as we have for the last 43 years.

Thank you for your support.
