RANCH CORDOVA, CA (MPG) – In a time where things appear to be so uncertain on a national level, looking for certainty in our own neighborhoods brings a feeling that we and our neighbors can overcome the current crisis together.

In these challenging times neighbors and shoppers want to be sure where they are shopping and visiting are serious about battling the possibility of the spread of the virus. They want to be sure that regular cleaning and precautions are in place.

One local grocery center, KP International Market, has been stepping up to create an even safer and cleaner environment. Lead by their management team, the store has adhered to all the government guidelines for social interactions while keeping the store open for business daily.

KP staff regularly clean, disinfect and sanitize the entire store, grocery carts, and all service areas. They are quietly and professionally dedicated to making every patron feel safe about their visit.

All staff are wearing face masks and gloves, changing them after each use. All checkers are wearing face shields while in the checkout stands. All checkout stands are being wiped down with disinfectant every few minutes. The entire store is quarantined and completely sanitized weekly.

The store management is providing masks and gloves for all shoppers when they enter the store. They are making every effort possible to have all protocols in place.

A great resource for many items you can’t normally find at other stores, this store is remaining nearly fully stocked of the items regularly purchased by their international shoppers. They are now selling hand sanitizers for their shoppers. BJ Yu, the store owner, reported that getting the sanitizer for sale to their shoppers had been extremely difficult and they are grateful they were now able to provide it.

The Food Court, always a favorite lunch venue for shoppers and local business people looking for a quick and tasty meal, is also open daily for take-out.

KP International is one of the community’s more supportive companies. They donate to many local non-profits and to many annual events put on by the city and local organizations.

The store has had to cancel a few of their own events that normally would draw large crowds to the center. These events were cancelled out of an abundance of caution for their attendees.

Owner BJ Yu said in our interview; “These are difficult times, but we must keep working hard and be considerate of each other. We must keep going and we will get through this together as a community.”

He and his entire staff have a big heart for the community and they are showing it again with all the extra pre-cautions being taken to clearly put the safety of their shoppers first.

KP International is located at 10971 Olson Drive, Rancho Cordova, just across the street from the local post office in the big shopping mall. They are open from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Sunday. You can find out more by visiting their web site at sac.kpinternationalmarket.com
