Effective Monday, April 13: New Policy Regarding Masks and Customer Limits
In our continuing efforts to protect customers and employees, we will be requiring everyone who enters our stores to wear masks.
In addition, customers may bring only one additional person inside the store with them to shop. Groups of more than two will be prohibited.
We are also monitoring and limiting the number of customers shopping inside the store at one time (limits are determined by sq. ft. of each store), and are asking customers to practice social distancing, maintaining a space of 6 feet between each other, while shopping.
Updated: March 23, 2020
We remain committed to work hard with our vendor partners to ensure that items in our stores are continually available. So that we may meet the needs of as many customers as possible, we are limiting purchases on in-demand items (bathroom tissue, sanitizers, rice, eggs, water, etc.) to one (1) per customer/household per transaction.

New Store Hours For All Stores Statewide - 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Daily
Beginning Monday, March 23, we will adjust our store hours at all Foodland stores statewide to open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. This change has already been in effect at our stores on Kauai in response to the island-wide curfew. Foodland’s Kupuna Shopping Hour will continue during the first hour of opening, from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays until further notice, and the 5% “Senior Thursdays” discount on these days/times will still apply. “All of us at Foodland take our responsibility to serve our community very seriously as we know our customers depend on us — especially during times of crisis. With COVID-19 evolving daily, we are continually evaluating what we must do to meet the needs of our customers while also keeping our community and employees safe, ” said Jenai S. Wall, Foodland Chairman and CEO. “Adjusting our hours of operation will allow our employees more time to prepare our stores for customers and will enable our employees — who are working so hard to meet customer needs — time to rest and spend time with their families so they may continue to serve our community well. The hours of 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. were selected to ensure the fewest number of customers would be impacted by the change.” added Wall. We will also be making the following changes to support the community during this critical time:
Promoting Social Distancing
Customers will be encouraged to maintain distance between each other at checkout and other areas. Employees, signs and PA announcements will remind customers to follow this recommended practice.
Reusable Bags
In an effort to limit contact and potential spread of germs, customers who bring in their own reusable bags will be asked to bag their own groceries so their personal items are not touched by cashiers and courtesy clerks. Customers may purchase a paper bag or one of Foodland’s reusable bags (99 cents and up) if they wish to have their groceries bagged by Foodland employees.
Family Meals
To make it easier for you to eat and enjoy dinner together as a family, we are now offering pre-cooked meals that serve a family of four. Visit Foodland.com/family-meals for more information.
Supporting Local Farmers
Foodland has reached out to local farmers whose business has been impacted by the closure of restaurants and farmers markets to purchase more of their products for its stores. We believe this initiative can be a win win win for farmers, customers and the community.
We are currently exploring expansion of grocery delivery and curbside pickup service at more locations statewide very soon. Stay tuned for more information.
We will continue to post any updates related to COVID-19 on this landing page.

Special Shopping Days and Times for Seniors
In efforts to create a safe environment for our kupuna to grocery shop, we will set aside the first hour of business on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to serve only seniors (age 60 yrs. and above) and an accompanying caregiver or assisting family member at all stores statewide. In addition, seniors will be offered our “Senior Thursday” 5% discount on these days and times. The special shopping days/times and accompanying discount for seniors will start this Thursday, March 19, and will continue until further notice. “We know that many of our seniors are concerned about their health and safety during this current crisis, and we want to provide them an opportunity to shop with us in a less-crowded environment,” said Jenai S. Wall, Foodland Chairman and CEO. “We appreciate the understanding and cooperation from all of our non-senior customers in delaying their shopping by one hour after our stores open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.” Store opening times vary by store (either 5 a.m. or 6 a.m.).

Feeling ill? Please Refrain From Shopping
If you’re feeling sick, we ask that you stay home and perhaps ask a friend or family member to shop for you, or consider Foodland To You (grocery delivery and pick up, available at select Oahu locations).
