Akron's Viking Grocery searching suppliers to keep shelves full during COVID-19

Terry Randall will tell you.  The grocery business can be hard, long days.  He would know.  He’s been doing it a long time.

 

This COVID-19 situation has often made days longer and harder.

 

Terry and Cris Randall own and operate Viking Foods in Akron. 

 

Terry says it can be a bit troubling knowing their staff is on the front lines.

 

 

Shoppers get aggravated when they can’t find what they need.  Terry explains how hard it can be to get those supplies to the store in the first place.

 

 

That can make interaction with the customers difficult from time to time.

 

 

Aside from that, Terry says the discussions and work stays pretty much the same.

 

 

Changes at the store though.  Grocery shopping can be a family experience.  But for now, amid COVID-19, Terry asks that you come just one family member at a time.

 

 

He also notes that he does have some volunteers who can help out with deliveries in the Akron area.
