Original Factory Shop stores to reopen in Mablethorpe and Horncastle

The safety and wellbeing of The Original Factory Shop’s colleagues and customers and communities remains paramount and the Mablethorpe and Horncastle stores will re-open in line with government guidelines from Monday, June 15.

Across all stores, social distancing and safety measures have been put in place. This full list of measures includes:

• Two metre social distancing markings

• Basket sanitisation stations

• Protective screens at checkouts

• Limited number of customers allow in stores at any time

• Customers are recommended to make contactless card payments – and the limit has been increased to £45

• All colleagues have been supplied with face visors, masks and gloves

Following the government’s decision to close all non-essential stores on March 23, The Original Factory Shop closed the doors of its Mablethorpe and Horncastle stores.

Since closure staff have been working tirelessly to prepare for re-opening and also supported its local communities by donating products to a number of local care homes, foodbanks and charities.

Emma Fox, CEO of The Original Factory Shop, said: “For the last 50 years, our shops have sat in the heart of local communities and we are delighted to be re-opening our store in Mablethorpe and Horncastle.

“We have continued to monitor the situation, staying close to the government guidelines, and the Mablethorpe and Horncastle stores are reopening with changes to ensure everyone feels safe while visiting us.

“I’d like to thank all colleagues for their patience and support as we continue to navigate through these unprecedented times and look forward to welcoming our loyal customers back into the Mablethorpe and Horncastle stores.”
