During business hours, employees are constantly cleaning through the day, sanitizing high-traffic areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emphasizing the Distance in Social Distancing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m limiting the total number of customers in each store at one time to maintain safe social distancing. There is a maximum of 10 customer parties at a time in each store. I have established waiting areas outside of every store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tThese increased safety measures go above and beyond some state reopening regulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> For example, New Hampshire\u2019s reopening regulations state that store capacity is restricted to 50 percent. The fire code allows 766 people at a time in my Nashua store and half of that 383. However, I\u2019m only allowing about 70 customers at a time in this location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cThere are a lot of rules out there, and they continue to change,\u201d Roger Dunlap, senior vice president of store operations, told Leung.&nbsp; \u201cWe established Bob\u2019s rules.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How Bob&#039;s is working on making our stores safer for everyone.\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a71F-gWfdQI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday morning welcomed the reopening of all 11 stores in Massachusetts that had been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp; Along with the store reopenings came new safety guidelines.
