Beginning Wednesday, March 18, all Fareway stores and meat markets will be open Monday-Saturday from 8 am – 7 pm. The early closure will provide for additional cleaning and sanitation measures in stores, as well as time for restocking inventory.
As part of these new hours, the first hour of business, from 8 – 9 a., will be reserved for those customers who are 65 and older, expecting mothers, those living with a serious chronic medical condition, and anyone with an underlying medical condition that increases the susceptibility to serious illness from COVID-19. “We appreciate the advance cooperation from our customers in respecting the hour reserved for those that are at higher risk,” a Fareway Stores spokesperson said.
