Got an email from Pricesmart at 6am this morning saying they’re offering free delivery all May.
Wonder if that’s automated or they will close the stores but continue to offer delivery by shopping in their website?

You mean the superstores like Gulf, Marabella, Trincity?

They might probably close off the sections with the electronics, appliances, etc.

Massy Trincity more or less do away with the appliance section. They converted the space to a Ferreria's Optical.
Appliances are down to a single row of shelves now.

It’s just two branches. In fact it’s two smaller branches so what’s the connection with the restriction ?

Under the new regulations and without a pharmacy does those 2 stores qualify for an exemption to open?
I assumed no and well the coincidence of it all.

PriceSmart brands itself as a grocery. Foot traffic today at all stores is at about their average.
