Dauphin Home Hardware continues to work towards providing a safe shopping environment for its customers during the growing concern of COVID-19. In an effort to do so, Mark and Whitney Odut who own the store have put some precautions in place, effective immediately.

• They are asking people to not browse, instead to collect the items you need, pay, and vacate the store.
• Don't shop in groups or families, they're asking for just one family member to be in the store at any time.
• Continue to keep a distance from fellow shoppers and employees.

Home Hardware is also offering no contact free delivery within the City of Dauphin. That means you can call the store with your shopping list and they will get all of the items together and deliver it right to your door. You can either pay over the phone for this option or leave a cheque in your mailbox. You can call the store at 638-8442.

"Our goal is to provide the best customer service possible while keeping everyone safe, both our valued employees and customers," said Whitney Odut.

Employees can also shop for you and have your items ready for you at checkout which will allow you to get in and out quickly.

The store hours this weekend will be from 9-6 today and tomorrow and 12-5 on Sunday. Beginning on March 29, the store will close on Sundays for the next few Sundays. Starting on March 30, normal hours of operation will be from 9-6 Monday-Saturday.

"The closure on Sundays beginning on March 29 will likely last about three weeks and then we'll re-evaluate from there," she concluded.
