“Today we have a supply that is certainly sufficient for the normal consumption of those products,” Colruyt said. “But in recent days we have noticed that the consumption of those products is no longer normal. Since this morning, posters have been hanging next to the flower and oil products, asking our customers to buy a maximum of two pieces.”
“It is a precautionary measure,” emphasizes the spokeswoman. “There is enough for everyone, we just want to ask that everyone remains calm. If everyone now buys up all flower and oil products, we will be in the same situation as in 2020 (people started hoarding at the start of the lockdown, ed.) This is all knowledge we gained then: we want to bring reasoning now so that we can maintain normal consumption and our employees have enough time to replenish the shelves in time. Our stores.”
