Hanover Co-op Food Stores' Covid Update for March 19

First, about our employees: We receive daily comments and emails from customers praising the work of the teams throughout our operations. Time and again, these shoppers share deep appreciation for our crew, saying things such as, “Thank you for maintaining a positive attitude and putting yourselves out in the public for us…you deserve our heartfelt appreciation!”

We completely agree. Our cooperative is an employee-focused business. We see extraordinary efforts throughout stores, facilities, and behind the scenes.  Our teams are the key to the Hanover Co-op’s ability to serve the community. We are steadfast in our commitment to doing everything possible to help alleviate employee stress, and serve them and their families to the best of our ability, now and in the future.

Here is the latest news about how we are strengthening our supply chain: Our Merchandising teams are reporting success in their efforts to supplement our supply of staple groceries (canned foods, pasta, peanut butter, and such). Soon we’ll take delivery on about 200 such products from another regional partner. This quick turn-around time is due to having local resources and supply chain options, and a team that knows who to call. We will continue to keep you informed of delivery changes as space and time allows.

In closing, we wish to extend our thanks to leaders, volunteers, and organizations around our region. Nearly every day, members of our teams are participating in conference calls and collaborative problem solving with our professional network throughout New England. There is power in numbers, and each day, we strive to grow stronger.

We will strive to post daily updates (Monday through Friday) to this page between approximately 3:00 and 4:00. Even on days when an update is not warranted, we will post a statement letting site visitors know that. It is our hope that things will settle down to the point where we provide updates only on an as-needed basis.
