The number of permitted customers will vary based on location and the size of the store, management said on Saturday. However, the company is requesting only one person shop per family when at all possible.
Beginning Monday, Giant employees will stand out front and track the number of shoppers entering the store. Once it has reached capacity, customers will be asked to wait in line outside until more people exit.
“This pandemic has reaffirmed the critical role grocery plays in our local communities and we appreciate our customers’ cooperation as we implement additional measures to help keep both them and our team members safe,” said Giant president Nicholas Bertram.
Giant joins a growing list of grocery chains which have announced similar safety measures during the coronavirus.
Walmart announced store employees would be ensuring locations reached no more than 20 percent capacity, and Costco said no more than two people could use the same membership card at a time.
Target is limiting customer capacity as well, but said the number allowed inside would also depend on location and store size.
