According to a news release, these safety precautions will be implemented:
• Masks will be required for all shoppers and employees (unless covered by a medical exemption).
• Social distancing will be encouraged throughout the stores and there will be one-way aisles.
• A limited number of customers will be allowed in the store at one time.
