Ocean State Job Lot Issues COVID-19 Update

Ocean State Job Lot posted this information on their website.

In these challenging times, we want to keep you, our valued customers, as up to date as possible on our efforts to keep our stores stocked with the essential items you need. Our buyers and supply chain leaders are dedicated to doing everything they can to acquire the items you are looking for and get them into our stores as quickly as possible. The health of our associates and our customers is the highest priority for us, and we are working diligently to support everyone the best we can.

Essential items are selling very quickly, so we are unable to guarantee that all products will be in stock at all times. In some cases we will be placing limitations on how many of each item customers can purchase so we can make essentials available to as many people as possible for as long as possible. We will never participate in price gouging.

The list below will be updated a few times each week, so please check back often, or contact your local Ocean State Job Lot to inquire about specific items.Click Here for our message to customers about COVID-19.

Update - April 1, 2020

Hand Sanitizer: As announced in our previous update, our order of roughly 20,000 units of hand sanitizer is hitting stores currently. We have limits in place, but we expect to sell out of all units very quickly.

Hazmat Suits: We recently acquired roughly 100,000 hazmat suits of different sizes and styles. We’re sending a small portion of these out to our stores for our customers to purchase, but the vast majority will be distributed to the government, hospitals and first responders.

Boxed Gloves: We just received a new shipment of roughly 50,000 boxes of 100-Count Synthetic Vinyl Gloves. These are beginning to arrive in all stores across the chain right now.

Baby Wipes: We continue to see very high demand in baby wipes across our chain, but we continue to have access to adequate supply. We currently have over 70,000 units of baby wipes available across our chain.

Liquid Soap: Despite high demand, we are well positioned in liquid soap. We have roughly 50,000 units across the chain at this time, with another 50,000 in our distribution center ready for resupply.

Bleach: As mentioned in our last update, we just received and distributed large quantities of bleach. We currently have 10,000 gallons of bleach in stores, and another 15,000 en route to hit stores soon.

Zep Cleaners: We continue to be well stocked in Zep, a popular commercial cleaning brand. We have over 70,000 units of assorted Zep products in our stores, including disinfectants.
