Several central Alberta grocery stores will require customers to wear masks.
The Real Canadian Superstore and No Frills, both owned by Loblaws Companies, will introduce mandatory mask policies for customers starting Saturday.
“We appreciate your support as we work together to stop the spread of COVID-19,” the company wrote on Facebook, with No Frills posting a similar message on its social media.
Starting Saturday August 29, 2020 masks or face coverings will be mandatory at all Real Canadian Superstore® locations. We appreciate your support as we work together to stop the spread of COVID-19.
