Due to further reminders that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue for an unknown number of weeks or months, today there has been another surge in customer demands at Costco in Langford.
People are out shopping to stock up on food and household supplies as awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic heightens on Vancouver Island.
Statement from COSTCO to customers:
“Effective upon store opening Wednesday March 18, Costco will be encouraging more social distancing by limiting the amount of shoppers in the store at any one time.
The specific number of shoppers may vary depending on how busy the check out tills are and/or the time of day.
We ask that shoppers anticipate this change and spread your shopping times out during the day. Early morning has proved to be the busiest time so we encourage shoppers to try to come later morning through to the evening.
Shoppers are advised NOT to arrive in groups. At this time store hours will remain the same.”
This also causes traffic congestion at the Millstream Road interchange as consumers head to Costco and other stores in that major commercial shopping area of Langford.
