There will be at least one benefit due to these closures which is customers will be able to take advantage of 15% discounts starting at the end of this week. If you want to know when exactly the discounts start, call your local store or go to the company's Contact Us page. Discounts won’t apply to alcohol, tobacco, gift cards, milk, and lottery tickets. There may be a few other items that will be exempt from the discounts so keep that in mind when shopping.
