Key Food Fresh and Natural on Jersey Ave. is doing a fantastic job with this whole situation. The Staff is a tight knit group being just as friendly and helpful as usual. They installed plastic “walls” at the registers and they spray down the carts after each use. The neighborhood loves the store so much that a resident made masks for the employees. Give them the business. It really is a small operator local business that’s doing an amazing job with this whole thing.
That’s awesome to hear! I will likely give them a try in the next few days.
