With a two week stay at home order going into effect for the state on Friday, Minnesta grocery store operators have an important message for the public: Do not rush to the grocery store and avoid hoarding food you or your family do not need.
Jamie Pfuhl, President of the Minnesota Grocers Association, said grocery stores will continue to stay open and operate as normal.
“By rushing on products, you make it so that there's not enough product left for your neighbors. And we're much more Minnesot Nice than that. We want to make sure that we keep those products on the shelves and that you stick to what your household needs.”
She says Minnesota grocery stores are keeping shelves stocked, and also going above and beyond in ensuring the safety of their shoppers, including shoppers who are more vulnerable to the virus.
