Taking things online
Aside from thanking their workers, the husband and wife are also thinking about making things convenient for their customers by officially launching an e-commerce site for their store.
On Instagram, the actress shared that her husband has been tirelessly working on the design and adding a few final touches to the site to make it easy and convenient for their customers to order online.
She posted, “Baby Nyles is helping daddy with the finishing touches for the e-commerce site that will be live for ALL @islandpacificmarket stores tomorrow!
“Have your favorite produce, meat, seafood, groceries and Philhouse food delivered straight to your door using contactless delivery. Stay at home and stay safe.”
For the past months, several grocery stores including Island Pacific have taken the necessary steps in addressing the coronavirus outbreak by increasing the frequency and intensity of store sanitation.
As of writing, the United States of America has the largest number of COVID-19 positive patients with more than 800,000 cases to date.
