California Grocers Association Pleads with Shoppers to Stop Overbuying
Despite some hoarding, Vons Market, Super A and Fillmore’s many smaller markets and convenience stores can meet all your shopping needs. Grocers’ associations across the nation are encouraging shoppers to buy just enough food and supplies for a week. The shelves will be restocked as usual and there will be no shortages if the community will shop as it usually does. The run on grocery stores, empty shelves and long lines are all unnecessary, according to the California Grocers Association (CGA). “We have dealt with fires and earthquakes and natural disasters so we are set up in such a way that there is an abundance of freight and supplies in our distribution centers,” said Ron Fong, President and CEO of the CGA. Stay calm, keep some distance and remember other people need supplies, too.
