With the acceleration of the COVID-19 situation, Ito-Yokado will always make the “safety of our customers, employees and business partners” our first priority. We have set up a “safety counter” at the entrances of 35 Ito-Yokado stores, where we encourage customers to wash and disinfect their hands and measure their body temperature when they enter the store. In addition, we have also posted notices around the "safety counter" to introduce Ito-Yokado’s efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Ito-Yokado has also set up "priority checkout counters" to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and regularly disinfect the facilities in the stores. The counters are indicated as "priority cahier counters for the elderly and people in need”, as shown on the left, and are available between 14:00~16:00. We will continue to take various measures to ensure that everyone can shop safely and without worry.

The entrance of the store is equipped with a portable wash basin, "WOSH", that does not require running water (as pictured). This is the first time that "WOSH" has been installed in mass merchandise and retail stores. Customers can shop without worry.

※“Safety counter” and photocatalyst disinfection are currently implemented at some stores and will be expanded to all stores in the future

In order to avoid crowds and going out unnecessarily and, we recommend our contactless "online shopping" service. Our staff will place the goods at the entrance of your home to ensure contactless delivery. The delivery staff will ring the doorbell to notify the customer to pick up the goods after they leave.
