The Iceland food store located in the Deiniol Centre in Bangor is to dedicate two hours every Wednesday morning (9am-11am) for elderly or vulnerable shoppers during the Coronavirus crisis.
The supermarket chain announced on Monday it is encouraging store managers to dedicate the first two hours of opening on Wednesday morning to those of state pension age and “vulnerable people in their community, such as those with disabilities.”
A post on the official Iceland Foods Facebook page stated: “The impact of Covid-19 continues to disrupt routines for many people and businesses, and there is widespread concern about access to food, especially for vulnerable people and the elderly.
“With many of our Iceland stores located at the heart of communities across the UK, we are encouraging our store managers to dedicate the first two hours of opening on Wednesday morning to the elderly (those of state pension age) and vulnerable, such as those with disabilities.
“We are giving them the flexibility to offer this wherever possible, and arrangement will be publicised in the stores that decide to take this action.”
