LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Beginning today and continuing indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Northgate Gonzales Market chain will open all of its 41 Southern California locations one hour early each day for senior citizens and disabled customers.
The chain has 19 stores in Los Angeles County and 13 in Orange County.
“We recognize the challenge facing seniors and other at-risk populations and we need to address them by providing them an opportunity to shop for essentials without fear or trepidation,” said Northgate Co-President Miguel Gonzalez.
Those customers will be able to shop from 7 to 8 a.m., and the stores will be open to the general public from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
“Our customers and store associates' safety are our number one concern,” he said. “This is just one solution we are looking at to help Southern California residents sustain their health and nourishment needs.”
In addition to its locations in Los Angeles and Orange counties, the Anaheim-based company has eight San Diego County locations and one in Riverside County.
Locations can be found on the company's website.
