Giant Eagle has announced it is implementing one-way aisles in its supermarkets and GetGo stores, beginning Monday, due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
One-way directional signage will be added on the floor in each aisle "to indicate the flow of traffic and help guests maintain social distance," the supermarket chain said.
On April 6, Giant Eagle said it would start limiting the number of customers in its stores at one time. The new maximum occupancy is posted near all supermarket and GetGo entrances.
The company also provided personal protective equipment – masks and gloves – to all of its employees.
The company operates more than 400 retail locations, ranging in size from 120,000 square-foot supermarkets to small neighborhood markets and fuel and convenience locations.
