After over a week of uncertainty about local grocery store鈥檚 ability to get food stocks to the area due to flooding down south, things by all accounts are back under control.
According to 亚洲天堂 Lake Wholesale Club Manager Ray Bruce, the store returned to its normal food and grocery stock level on Nov. 26. 鈥淲e switched warehouses temporarily, and food trucks are now coming in from Calgary and Edmonton as opposed to Vancouver,鈥 said Bruce.
Lakes District 亚洲天堂 also spoke to a representative from Save On Foods, who said that the 亚洲天堂 Lake location is also once again receiving regular shipments of food and other groceries.
鈥漌hen the flood hit, we used all of our resources and worked closely with local authorities to get product to our stores, including distributing out of our Alberta warehouse to service as many B.C. stores as possible,鈥 said the representative.
鈥淲ith access to the Interior now available, the 亚洲天堂 Lake store is once again being serviced out of our Langley facility and receiving orders on a regular basis. We understand that these are uncertain times and we鈥檙e asking our customers to maintain normal shopping habits. Our teams are doing their best to keep the shelves full through alternate routes and we encourage everyone to be patient and to be kind to each other and to our team members.鈥

Over in Houston, Buy-Low Foods says they too are not experiencing any significant problems with grocery stocks.
鈥淭here may be certain specific items that run low on inventory from time to time as the supply chain in B.C. recovers from the major flood event. We have had deliveries of meat and produce all through the event and while deliveries may be delayed due to road conditions, the store has received multiple deliveries of grocery products over the past two weeks,鈥 said the representative
As for liquor, according to the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch, they have been rerouting product in the supply chain from distribution centres in the Lower Mainland and the Interior as necessary to service customers in communities in the Northern region.
鈥淲e greatly appreciate our customers鈥 patience and flexibility as we work together to navigate these challenging and unique times. We will continue to work with our vendors to identify alternative solutions to service our customers and maintain service levels, where possible,鈥 a B.C. Liquor Representative told Lakes District 亚洲天堂.
