Supersol Chairman Nochi Dankner reached a decision recently
not to open the chain of stores on Shabbos and not to bring
non-kosher food products into the stores.
The decision was made last week at a meeting to finalize a
new strategic plan the chain has been working on for several
months with the assistance of international consultation
company, McKinsey. A Supersol spokesman confirmed the
report.
The issue of operations on Shabbos was raised for discussion
because the number of Supersol customers who demand non-
kosher food items and Shabbos hours has risen sharply. This
factor is of particular relevance in certain locations where
competing chains are open on Shabbos.
According to sources the board said even if other chains
decide to operate on Shabbos, Supersol will not follow their
example.
