Loads in the food chains before Passover are commonplace, but the expected closure has resulted in unprecedented onslaught, queues and product shortages. • Rami Levy: "How we opened our stores reached four times as much as an ordinary holiday"

The people of Israel attacked the food chain's branches on Tuesday, the day before Seder, which will be closed this year. The pre-Seder marketing network load is a familiar thing, which happens every year, but the fact that this time also joins General Closure has resulted in much greater burdens.



Rami Levy told Israel Today this morning: "There are a lot of people who come to shop from here until a new announcement. The way we opened the stores was four times more than a regular Christmas Eve. People want to buy before the closure and after the holiday there is Friday A short day so people want to have enough. However, everything is arranged. If there are usually checkout queues on holiday evenings, now the queues are out. We put in stores by a limited number of people.

"As for the missing eggs, it also works out. People panicked and bought six or seven molds, so a shortage was created, as was the case with the toilet paper.

On the Shufersal network, we were told that "there is a greater load before the holiday. Even in the open 24-hour branches, greater visitor traffic was felt during the night and early morning. People are held just before the holiday and just before the closure."



Michael Lubuszitz, CEO of the Pavilion Wine Group, Mega City and Mehadrin Market added: "There is another attack on the branches, which is due to the pressure around the closure. The missing ones are voluntary hoarding. We received goods and there are branches but we restricted the purchase of matzos and eggs to take care of all our customers. We comply with all the Ministry of Health guidelines and are constantly updated. "



Ethan Yohananoff, CEO and owner of the Yohananoff Network added that "the attack on the branches began at night and continued in the morning. It's a very powerful movement, but it's not as hysterical as we know it was in one wave. This continues throughout the week. However, we still see the holiday shopping end routine and the strong pace of immigration. "

Regarding the shortage, he says, "Except for eggs, we're personally fine. We hear about shortages elsewhere. There is a little shortage of eggs. Such should be a supply of 5-6 trucks but there is another trickle of goods. "

"The supply-to-demand ratio is 50%. This is because demand has increased dramatically compared to last year and not because we received less supply. There are many people who remain in the country and people consume more. This is twice as much as in the normal year. So this year it is 400% and we unfortunately only provide 200%. "
