To Our Valued Customers:
We wanted to let you know that we are closely monitoring the ongoing developments related to Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The safety and well-being of our employees and customers is of the utmost importance to us, and we wanted to reach out to let you
know that we are taking appropriate precautions to keep our employees informed and ensure your shopping experience is a safe one.
Uncle Giuseppe’s is an environment with food safety standards that meet and exceed local and state requirements for industry
best practices. Food contact surfaces are cleaned and sanitized regularly, and we thoroughly clean public areas and restrooms on a
frequent basis.
Our enhanced maintenance includes:
• Having a dedicated greeter at every store wiping down carts
with sanitizer as customers walk in.
• Cleaning and sanitizing customer touch points such as debit/credit card machines, door handles, deli kiosks, etc.
Additionally, we’ve implemented a new hand washing protocol that goes above and beyond industry standard. Our employees now
use a “Stop, Wash and Change Your Gloves” policy whereby all food handling employees practice this every 2 hours or as needed if
sooner. We’ve advised any employees who feel ill to remain home until they are in good health. We will continue to closely monitor
and follow all recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, our state and local health departments, and our food industry
trade associations.
As with other retailers in the area, we are starting to experience short supplies on certain high demand products. As a result, we’ve
implemented a purchase limit on items such as sanitizing wipes and sanitizers. Our teams are working hard to ll the stores as
supplies permit. Delivery trucks are arriving daily and we are re-stocking shelves as products come in. This includes but is not
limited to fresh meat, produce and grocery essentials.
We want you to feel safe shopping at Uncle Giuseppe’s, and hope these added precautions allow you to shop with con dence. Should
you have any additional questions, please see your local store manager. From our family to yours, stay safe and healthy!
-Uncle Giuseppe’s Ownership Team
Attention Customers:
The following shopping hours will be reserved for seniors and those most at risk:
7:00am to 8:00am
If you do not fall into this category, for the safety of these customers please do your
shopping at a later time. Thank you for your understanding during this trying time.
