  • CoronaVibes: Are You 65 Or Older? Pick N Pay’s Got You Covered

    Pick n Pay is really pulling out all the stops when it comes to helping the public deal with the coronavirus outbreak.

    I’ll be honest, I’m impressed.

    The retailer has started limiting the number of sought-after products sold to individual customers to ensure that everyone can stock up on hygiene products, and now it’s introduced pensioners hour, for those who are young at heart but advanced in years, so that they can shop safely.

    Over to EWN:

    Following in the footsteps of other retailers around the world, Pick n Pay on Tuesday announced it would be opening all of its supermarkets and hypermarkets an hour earlier every Wednesday for elderly customers to shop.

    The initiative was due to take effect from Wednesday and would see stores open exclusively for customers over the age of 65 years from 7am to 8 am.

    You need to take a valid ID document along if you want to enter the store.

    “A special shopping hour for pensioners was a great suggestion by our online community and we very quickly worked with our stores to make this a reality,” said retail executive: marketing at Pick n Pay John Bradshaw in a statement.

    The coronavirus, or COVID-19, is more of a threat to older people, so this is a great initiative.

    If you know someone who is unable to do their own shopping, in your neighbourhood or apartment block, pick up a few things for them when you do your weekly supply run.

    As the president said in his speech on Sunday – if we work together, we will get through this.
