Coverage Insights | Features to look for when buying grocery store retail insurance online
Slip, trip and fall. Three words that no retailer ever wants to hear. And, if you run a grocery retail outlet, you know that your produce section needs to be constantly monitored. That’s because a few slippery squished grapes or tomatoes on a tile floor can quickly escalate into a very serious situation.
If you own or manage a grocery store, you and your team are constantly on the outlook for things that might go wrong. A child accidentally drops a jar of pickles in an aisle. Ice builds up on entryway sidewalks and poses a serious hazard for the employees who are in charge of rotating grocery carts. E. coli infections linked to certain brands of romaine lettuce leave your produce manager scrambling to dispose of unsellable perishable goods, answer consumer questions and source new suppliers.
