“We heard this proposal during the meeting with the Minister, it will be discussed, but we still cannot comment on the details,” Lina Skersytė, representative of Lidl Lietuvos, told BNS.
Retail chain Norfa also said it would consider the minister’s calls, but added that it doubted that the removal of some of the products could affect the flow of buyers.
“The flow of shoppers is controlled. Their numbers in stores are already declining because people deliberately shop less frequently during the quarantine, but buy more products, in response to calls from the retail chain and government officials. ..) The elimination of some goods from the trade could hardly affect the decrease or increase in the flow of buyers ”, Darius Ryliškis, spokesman for Norfa, told BNS.
Renata Keršienė, public relations manager for Rimi Mall, told BNS that the restrictions on the stores are not being considered.
“We believe that it is better for buyers to be able to buy what they need safely in one place, based on distances,” he said.
At the time, the retail chain Iki emphasized the existing food chain, which had the widest range of food products, and did not comment further on whether non-food sales could be restricted.
“We put the greatest emphasis in all our activity on food products, their consumer culture, variety of fresh products and various culinary products. I want to emphasize a lot that managing a pandemic is really important to us. We go to great lengths to make shoppers safer and go to stores less often, ”said Vaida Budrienė, INS communications director.
A. Armonaitė said Thursday that retail chains are urged to limit the range independently, but if necessary, the government could force them to do so.
