Social distance mat helps keep Alabama grocery store safe | Plastex

Crossline Covid-19 makes it easy for customers to social distance


Determined to help their customers adhere to social distancing measures, Alabama grocery store Bruce’s Foodland installed social distance mat Crossline to give queuing customers a visual reminder to maintain an appropriate distance.

The problem

When social distancing measures were announced across the United States in March 2020, Fort Payne grocery store Bruce’s Foodland suddenly needed a way to help their customers maintain a safe 6-feet social distance. Like other essential businesses, the busy grocery store had remained open during the pandemic, and was determined to keep their store safe for customers. With limited customers now permitted inside, they needed social distancing floor mats not only for their checkout area, but also for their external walkway where customers would need to queue if the store reached mandated capacity levels.

The checklist

  • Delineated stand zones to give people a visual reminder of the need to social distance
  • Durable and long lasting, and won’t tear or fade like stickers, stencils or decals
  • Provides a safe, slip-resistant and comfortable surface on which to stand
  • Easy to move and roll up for quick cleaning
  • Simple to install, and can be loose laid over an existing surface

The solution

Our two-layer social distancing mat Crossline Covid-19 was the ideal solution for Bruce’s Foodland. The mat’s color-delineated zones with floor distance markers allow customers to easily observe physical distance rules, while the two-layer construction creates a comfortable surface to stand on.

The store was keen for a long lasting solution that wouldn’t fade or get damaged over time, and this durable matting fit that brief perfectly. Unlike temporary floor markings for social distancing (such as social distancing stickers or social distancing decals), Crossline won’t tear or fade, and is easy to move where needed.

Made from flexible PVC, the mat is designed to be loose laid with no fixing required, so was able to be quickly rolled out and to cut to fit on site, making it perfect for the grocery store’s tight deadline.
