Supermarket employees will be recognized as the state of Kentucky celebrates Supermarket Employee Day on Feb. 21 with a proclamation from Governor Andy Beshear.
âSupermarket employees have played a major role in keeping our communities running and our families fed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,â the press release said.
The Kentucky Retail Federation and Kentucky Grocers and Convenience Store Association are also encouraging mayors and local officials across the commonwealth to recognize their own proclamations and on social media with the use of #SupermarketEmployeesDay and #SupermarketHeros hashtags.

Since day one of the pandemic, these hard working individuals have gone above and beyond to provide clean, safe shopping environments,â said Tod Griffin, president of the Kentucky Retail Federation and Kentucky Grocers & Convenience Store
