“Those businesses that are essential to society and community, including grocery stores… should remain open.

— Governor Larry Hogan

In this spirit—and as is our tradition—Eddie’s of Roland Park will continue operating regular store hours (7am-8pm Monday through Saturday, and 8am-7pm on Sunday) while monitoring/maintaining our stock levels as best we can, and modifying our processes in keeping with CDC and state/local guidance to ensure the continuity of safe and reliable operations.

To our employees, customers, and vendors/partners—your health and safety is of primary importance of us, and we appreciate you considering public health and practicing good judgement when planning your visit. Likewise, please be assured that Eddie’s of Roland Park is upholding long-established best practices for safe food service, while taking additional, precautionary measures to reinforce germ prevention, including:

  • Increasing the frequency of cleaning/sanitizing common contact surfaces and self-service utensils;
  • Working to ensure availability of gloves, hand soap, sanitizers and cleaning products in back of house areas, at entrance/checkout, and visitor restrooms;
  • Offering “social distance customer assistance” through our personal shopping and delivery services;
  • Limiting the number of customers inside the store at one time in order to provide increased space for social distancing;
  • Enabling/encouraging store employees to stay home or leave work if they are experiencing any signs of sickness;
  • Informing and communicating with employees regarding the most up-to-date health and safety recommendations;
  • Offering packaged salad, soup, olive and candy options as a convenient alternative while our self-serve salad bar, soup bar, olive bar and bulk candy displays are on hiatus;
