FamilyMart's safety measures are implemented to keep customers and employees safe throughout their shopping experience in the convenient store. The Japanese retailer takes preventative measures through design and overall structure to keep everyone safe.
To limit contact, coin trays are used, floor marks indicate social distancing, the doors are kept open for ventilation, curtains are installed at checkout, frequent broadcasting is used as a safety measure, and equipment is regularly sanitized. FamilyMart asks that customers that enter the premises maintain at least a meter apart from others and keep their face masks on. The safety measures are also meticulously practiced during product manufacturing and delivery processes as well. This ensures that products are meeting sanitary standards through every stage to limit concerns among consumers.
