Hand sanitiser stations
We have an infra-red hand sanitizer unit located at the front of our shops; we kindly ask that you sanitise your hands before shopping with us.
Limits on the number of customers in our shops
To maximise social distancing we have put limits on the number of customers in our shops at any one time, to control this, there will be a member of staff near each entrance who will assess and control the flow of people coming in and out of the shops.
Social distancing signs
There are signs around both our shops to remind customers to social distance at all times, we kindly ask that you respect other people in the shop as well as staff members. Please allow only one person on the stairs at any given time, and please step back to let people pass safely.
Cashless payments only
To minimise contact and cross-contamination we ask that you pay by card and use contactless methods where possible to reduce further contact.
Screens at the till
We have installed Perspex screens at the front of our tills to minimise contact between staff and customers. When being served please wait on the ‘Please Wait Here’ sticker until called to the till. Then place your items on the table provided and step back to the sticker while a staff member processes your items. When asked please step forward to pay at the till and step back whilst your payment goes through. After your payment has gone through, please collect your items from the table.
Extensive cleaning procedures
Both our shops will be frequently cleaned and disinfected throughout the day, especially surfaces and objects that are touched regularly. Our baskets will be cleaned after every use and if you would prefer to obtain a new item from the stock room as opposed to the shop floor, please let a member of staff know and they will happily help with this.
Shop Opening Times
Please note that both shops will be closed between 1pm and 1.30pm every day, to allow the team to have a lunch break, we appreciate your patience at this time.
