Over the weekend, Fresh Market sent out an email to its customers, letting them know that they will need to wear a face mask (starting Tuesday) if they want to shop.
Here's what the email said:
To help keep our communities healthy and safe, we’ve put some new practices in place.
Our Team Members are now required to wear face coverings in the store. Starting Tuesday, April 14, we’re requiring that all guests do too. Please be sure before you enter our stores to have a face covering. This new protocol is in accordance with the CDC’s latest recommendations.
How to Make & Wear Face Coverings:
The CDC has instructions for how to make your own cloth face covering, which can be found here.
Please wash or sanitize your hands before and after putting on a face covering. Make sure it fits snugly and includes multiple layers of fabric. When removing your face covering, always grab it by the straps, not the mouth area.
Along with face coverings, our additional safety measures include:
A contactless credit card checkout
Plexiglass shields at registers
Increased cleaning and disinfection of touchpoints throughout the store
Physical distancing (please stay 2 carts apart!), with floors marked for guidance in lines
8-9am weekday shopping hour for seniors and those at risk
A limit to the number of guests in stores at one time – this limit will vary to comply with local ordinance
