“We will keep you informed. The health and safety of customers, the community and all staff remain the highest priority at Tiffany’s SuperSpar. Our store, along with all Spar stores, has been unfailingly diligent in implementing measures to limit the risk of Covid-19 transmission during the lockdown.
