COVID-19 Response

During this challenging time for our customers, employees, and nation, we want to reassure you that our commitment to you is stronger and more steadfast than ever. We are working diligently to take proper precautions to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and keep you, your families, and our team members feeling safe and secure.

CHEF’STORE Health and Safety Measures

Our company is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and developing action plans for both associate and customer needs, drawing upon many resources, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to make informed, fact-based decisions.

We have taken many critical actions to support the health and safety of our employees and customers during this time, including allowing more time for cleaning and sanitizing, implementing social distancing measures throughout our stores, and providing personal protective equipment for employees.

• Masks Policy – In following the guidance of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in their recent announcements around mask usage due to COVID-19, US Foods® CHEF’STORE® is revising our policies regarding mask usage within our stores. We will not require our associates or guests to wear masks, as local regulations allow. We’ll follow all state and local COVID-19 safety regulations and encourage our employees and customers to consult the latest public health guidance, get vaccinated, and make decisions to keep themselves and their families safe. Updated March 3, 2022.
• U.S. locations with state or local mask requirements - no policy change In CHEF’STORE locations where the state or local jurisdiction does have a mask mandate, we will follow the state or local regulations and continue to require our employees and customers to wear a face mask or face shield dependent of vaccination status.  If a customer has a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask, they must wear a face shield.  If no face shield is available we will work with the customer to provide another reasonable accommodation.
