Categories of Important Grocery Store Signage for 2022

As grocery stores and supermarkets continue to fine-tune their strategy for dealing with COVID-19 and its ramifications, they have found that signage can play a major role. Consider the following categories of signs:

1. One-way aisle signs - To help customers maintain their social distancing as they move throughout the store, these signs serve to route aisle traffic and help prevent “people jams.”

2. Pickup signs - Think Curbside Pickup, Online Ordering, and other similar messages to make sure that customers know where to park/wait to get their groceries, place their orders, and so on.

3. Senior-hours signs - This signage displays the dedicated hour(s) established for those most at risk from COVID-19.

4. No-cash signs - With customers seeking to avoid the handling of “germy” currency altogether, some stores are turning to cashless options only and/or promoting other payment types.

5. Purchase limit signs - Some product categories remain supply-chain challenged, so these signs help in the prevention of hoarding certain goods.

6. Masks-required signs - Requiring employees and/or customers to wear masks helps reduce the spread of COVID-19, and doing so shows that your business and its employees care.

7. Social-distancing signs - Helping ensure customers (and employees) maintain 6 feet or more from each other throughout the store builds confidence in the store and the shopping experience overall.

8. Temperature-check signs - As businesses bring employees back to work, they’ll be establishing a temperature-taking protocol and regularly monitoring employee health.

Where are Some Effective Locations for Grocery Store Signs?

Locations for informative and effectual signage in a grocery store or supermarket are plentiful, whether you’re seeking a temporary or more permanent messaging solution. Here are just a few locations to keep in mind:

1. Store Entrance - Ideal location for Masks Required and Senior Hours signage; consider A-Frames, yard signs, aluminum signs, and plastic signs here.

2. Store Windows - An opaque window cling installed on your grocery store window allows you to promote your Social Distancing message along with revised hours and more. A perforated window decal will showcase your design/message to approaching customers while providing you with a view outside.

3. Ceilings - Hang posters, foamboard signs, and plastic signs from your store’s ceiling to provide customers with easily seen One Way Aisle information. Combine ceiling hangers with floor decals to double-up on your store’s messaging.

4. Interior Store Walls - A store wall is the perfect spot for a poster, foamboard sign, or plastic sign to remind shoppers about social distancing, mask wearing, and other critical reopening messaging. Repositionable wall decals are a good solution as well.

5. Check Out/POS - No Cash and Purchase Limit Signs can be placed right at the checkout queue; utilize posters, foamboard signs, and plastic signage here. Be sure to not impede the checkout process itself (scanning, bagging, payment).

6. Shelf/Endcap - Consider a counter card, poster, or foamboard sign (framed or hung) to reinforce purchase limits on specific products and deter hoarding.

7. Customer Service Desk - Posters, foamboard signs, and plastic signs can be placed in and adjacent to this highly visible store area, which is frequented by customers and employees alike.

8. Parking Lot & Cart Corrals - A-Frames placed in your parking lot can direct shoppers to grocery pickup areas; aluminum signs in cart corrals can do the same. Flag banners can also serve here.

9. Shopping Cart Pickup Lane - This is a good area to place aluminum and plastic signs reminding customers about social-distancing and masks.

10. Employee Breakroom/Commons - Use a mix of posters and foamboard signs to reinforce Temperature Check and Masks Required messaging to your staffers.

11. Restrooms - Beyond Hand Washing signs, your public and employee restrooms are also the place for Social Distancing signage; posters, plastic signs, and foamboard signs can be utilized here.
