A supermarket in Southport is hosting a special shopping morning dedicated to looking out for our town’s senior citizens.
Many people have been left horrified by the panic buying stampede across Southport and across the UK, as shoppers reacted to fears over the Coronavirus pandemic.
It has left supermarket shelves stripped of essentials such as paracetamol, toilet paper, pasta, rice, tinned food and even bottles of water.
While trolleys have been piled high by some, others have expressed their concern about the ability of elderly people to be able to go and shop for what they need.
People told to avoid contact but schools remain open
Now Iceland supermarket on King Street in Southport has announced that they will host a special one-off Elderly Shopping Time event. It will be held between 9am and 11am this Wednesday (March 18). The morning is focused mainly on helping people aged 55 and over.
After seeing huge demand for a wide range of goods over the past few days, Iceland is hoping to stock up on as many products as possible before Wednesday, but cannot guarantee that everything will be available.
