This is making the supply chain slightly slower but still
effective, which means customers will be able to purchase essential
items such as food and water. Stores are limiting the number of
staple products customers can purchase at any one time to ensure
everyone has an equal opportunity to purchase the supplies they may
need.
Understandably there are some queues at our supermarkets due to
the fact that very few stores are open, we have reduced numbers of
staff in store and our customers safety is paramount.
We would like to reassure customers that there is no need to
'panic buy' as we have staple items available in the stores that
are open and we are working hard to open as many other stores as we
can.
Foodstuffs can confirm that supply to Dunedin and the wider
South Island is currently unaffected.
We are working on appropriate relief fund donations but
understandably at this time our priority is getting our
supermarkets open and ensuring a steady supply of essential items
to our customers.
