Coronavirus spurs Save Mart to hire nearly 1,000 employees in California, Nevada
The Save Mart Cos. with grocery stores in Sacramento, Modesto, Merced and Fresno is looking to hire nearly 1,000 employees throughout California and northern Nevada due to increasing demands spurred by the coronavirus crisis.
The Modesto-based company, which includes 205 FoodMaxx, Lucky and Save Mart grocery stores, also is hiring for jobs at its warehouses in Roseville and Merced.
The Save Mart announcement comes as other grocery store companies seek to hire more employees in response to restaurants closing or adjusting operations to slow the spread of respiratory disease COVID-19. Customers over the weekend lined up at stores throughout trying to gather supplies as school districts close and authorities ask residents to stay home.
Raley’s and Safeway are both hiring to meet the new demands. Sacramento-based supermarket chain Raley’s is hiring for personal shoppers, and Pleasanton-based Safeway also is hiring for in-store employees and delivery drivers at its stores in Northern California, Nevada and Hawaii.
Save Mart Companies is looking to hire in-store employees, drivers, and warehouse team members. The available jobs at each location can be found on the Save Mart website.
The Save Mart Cos. also operate Smart Refrigerated Transport and partner in Super Store Industries, which owns and operates a distribution center in Lathrop and the Sunnyside Farms dairy processing plant in Turlock.
