Clitheroe and Barrowford shops introduce dedicated shopping hours for NHS staff, employees, and vulnerable people

In an effort to adapt to people's needs amidst the coronavirus pandemic, the shop - which operates stores across Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Cheshire, and Greater Manchester - are working to help NHS employees, emergency service workers, and the vulnerable and elderly access crucial supplies in what is an increasingly severe situation.

From 7am to 8am every day, the shops will have a shopping hour dedicated to NHS teams, teachers, social workers and the emergency services. From 9.30am to 11am, there will be a dedicated slot for the elderly, vulnerable, and at-risk groups. 11am to 8pm is for the general public, and finally 8pm to 9pm is for NHS workers, emergency workers, and social workers.

In an effort to support more vulnerable customers, the company are also introducing the ability to take payment over the telephone (£100 limit) which will enable people to send friends to shop on their behalf but pay for the products remotely.
