Monday, 29 March 2021: Woolworths is reinstating purchase limits on a range of essential products across greater Brisbane both in-store and online from this afternoon.
The move follows a spike in demand following the Queensland Government's announcement of a three-day lockdown. The limits will ensure more Woolworths customers have fair access to essential products.
Woolworths General Manager for Queensland, Chris Peters said: "We understand this will be an unsettling time for many Queenslanders, but we want to reassure customers we will remain open as an essential service.
"We have continued access to stock from our suppliers and our team will be hard at work making sure it flows from our distribution centres into our stores over the coming days.
"We encourage Queenslanders to continue shopping as they usually would and to be mindful of others in the community."
To uphold safety in its stores, Woolworths will conduct additional monitoring of social distancing. Extra resources will also be deployed to support with additional cleaning and wiping down of trolleys. In line with Queensland Government directives, all customers and team members are expected to wear face masks in Woolworths stores.
Mr Peters concluded: "As always, we ask our customers to follow all social distancing and hygiene measures while shopping in our stores. Please treat our team and each other with respect as we work through this together."
