People who work in the food service industry, particularly restaurants, lost their jobs during the pandemic. They were hired by supermarkets, but now that their old employers are opening back up, those workers are returning to their former positions. “The grocery business is strong, and never dropped,” said Ralph Woodward, Senior Vice President of Bashas’ Family of Stores. “We gained customer traffic and are looking to add to our store teams.”
