SandpiperCI has announced it will open all its Iceland stores in Jersey and Guernsey half an hour earlier each day to assist vulnerable groups and more elderly shoppers. This is in line with a number of Iceland stores in the UK and also as a result of customer requests and feedback.
Mike Rutter, Sandpiper’s Channel Islands’ retail managing director said: “Our Iceland stores cover all areas of the islands and we believe that by opening them earlier for the more vulnerable in our society we’ll be able to offer a safer and more comfortable shopping environment for those most at risk to the Coronavirus.
“Older adults, pregnant ladies, as well as people with underlying health conditions are known to be more susceptible to the virus which is why we’ve decided to offer this facility at what is the quietest part of the day and is therefore the best time to support social distancing.”
To accommodate, all Iceland stores will open 30 minutes earlier than usual. In Jersey the stores are situated at Les Quennevais, Grouville, St Peter, New Era, Bath Street and The Parade. In Guernsey the stores are situated at St Martin, Vale, Cobo and Admiral Park.
Actual store times are available on the Sandpiperci.com website.
