GCH Retail Malaysia is undertaking extra measures in ensuring customers’ safety
KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) — GCH Retail (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (‘GCH Retail’) who operates Giant, TMC, Cold Storage, Mercato, GEkspres and ShopSmart stores is introducing dedicated shopping hours across all its stores to help ensure that the elderly and other vulnerable groups get access to food and other essentials. The new initiative will begin this week, every Tuesday and Wednesday during the first hour of trading, and will be implemented across all stores nationwide, stepping up measures.
GCH Retail has also designated special checkout lanes for this group of customers during the normal operating hours to accommodate those who cannot shop during the dedicated hours. These measures were prompted by the recent spike in demand in supermarkets during this period, which may have caused many elderly and vulnerable people in the community missing out on vital items they need.
