AUSTIN, Texas - HEB has enacted product purchasing limits on some food and non-food items for its stores during the coronavirus outbreak.
According to a press release from the company, in order to ensure everyone has access to all essential items, the grocer has limited a certain amount of items that can be purchased per transaction.
"In order to help ensure all can secure the products they need when they need them, we’ve implemented temporary purchase limits on certain items help protect the supply chain in Texas. While our customers might find our supply of some products low or temporarily out of stock, we encourage customers to check back with us if they cannot find what they need, as we’ll continue to restock our products," the press release stated.
