Supermarket Shopping
When Covid-19 first began some people rushed to the supermarkets to stockpile (remember the toilet paper and flour shortages), others hit the keyboards for “food delivery”. In the first lockdown demand was extremely high and customers were forced to queue to enter the shops and also had to wait for their time slots for home deliveries.
Supermarkets, such as Tesco and Morrisons, are very efficient and quick to adapt to circumstances and managed to change their shops to meet Covid requirements – use of face coverings, hand sanitisers, wider tills and greater use of Perspex screens etc. etc.

Supermarkets like Morisons have adapted their stores to meet Covid guidelines and have also increased their delivery service to meet demand during the pandemic, with a newly built delivery system at the Consett Store. They have also done a brilliant job of reacting to a sudden spike in demand by increasing their online capacity, and it’s meant that nearly at the peak of demand, one in five British households ordered groceries online, 1.6 million more than this time last year.
Morisons also have an active Community team who not only support the Town’s Food bank but also have a dedicated delivery team for those unable to get to the store.
