UPDATED COMMENTS (MARCH 23rd) ON COVID-19
All of us are deeply anxious about the impacts to the health and
well-being of our employees, customers & community from the
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). We are therefore taking daily steps to
ensure the safest possible environment for everyone in accordance
with the latest health & sanitation protocols and proclamations
from the CDC, WHO & governmental entities.
These steps are outlined below:
1 – We are working constantly to cleanse & sanitize all preparation &
cooking surfaces, shelving, shopping wagons, shopping baskets & high
traffic areas regularly, consistently & diligently, including daily deep
cleanings in all departments. On Tuesday, March 24th, the store will
be closed the entire day so that we may do a complete deep cleaning
and sanitization of the entire store;
2 – Effective Wednesday, March 25th, only 6 customers (all parties
must be 1 individual only) at a time will be allowed into the store. A
properly-distanced line will be maintained outside the store for
customers awaiting entrance;
3 - We have communicated to all employees the importance of
washing their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
numerous times throughout the day, as recommended by the CDC;
4 – Spray Hand-Sanitizer has been procured from Train Wreck
Distillery in NJ. It is manufactured in accordance with
WHO’s recipe (utilizing 80% v/v Alcohol) under the authority of the
U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. It is available in the
front of the store for both employees and patrons;
5 – All store personnel who handle food preparation or open products
in any way have been instructed to wear proper gloves and change
such gloves regularly throughout the day;
6 – Employees are being asked to stay home & utilize paid sick time if
they are not feeling well;
7 – Delivery drivers have also been instructed to wear gloves for all
deliveries and contactless drop-offs with doormen or at the front door
(if possible) will gladly be accommodated;
8 – We are temporarily suspending all food sampling &
demonstrations until further notice;
9 – Pickup orders, which unnecessarily result in more people in the
store, are temporarily suspended - we ask that you please place
delivery orders only, preferably by email. Our email address is:
service@thekmp.com. Only a limited number of delivery orders can
be accommodated on any particular day;
10 – Passover orders can no longer be accepted. We simply do not
have the ability to do the large number of orders we have done in
the past given current operating conditions. We will however be
open for Passover in accordance with the hours and procedures
referenced here; and
11 – We have shortened our operating hours on Mondays – Thursdays
in order to better accommodate our employees & increased cleaning
schedules. Our hours as of today are as follows:
Sunday 9:00 AM - 6:45 PM;
Monday 8:00 AM - 6:45 PM;
Tuesday 8:00 AM - 6:45 PM;
Wednesday 8:00 AM - 6:45 PM;
Thursday 8:00 AM - 6:45 PM; &
Friday 7:00 AM - 3:45 PM.
As always we are here to welcome you to our store and hopefully
provide the greatest quality ambience, service & products to you and
your wonderful friends & families. We have immensely enjoyed
striving to do such for over 20 years and look forward to more than
that number of years in front of us. Things are difficult now…of that
there is no doubt. We just want you to know that we are here and
will be here throughout this journey to do what we can to make it a
little bit better. As always, if we missed something, or if you have any
other questions or concerns, please let us know. To those of you who
have already been directly impacted by the virus, we are thinking of
you. Best wishes to everyone & please stay safe.
