Friendly Gus

27/06/2023

We want to congratulate the Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority- Legacy Sports Boys 8U all-star team for finishing runner-up in the Dixie Youth Baseball State Championship this weekend!🤩🏆 We heard a rumor that all the big hitters would eat FG🍗 before the game💪

It is with a heavy heart to share that we've lost another member of the Friendly Gus family today: Wayne Rogers. Wayne was a long-time employee, and, more importantly, friend. Throughout his battle with cancer, Wayne not one time complained, lost hope or waivered in his faith. We found this photo of him from another post and will always remember that great smile of his. So while we grieve over the loss and pray for his family, we rejoice in knowing he is no longer in pain and his body has been renewed in glory with our Savior and King.

To all customers:

The Coronavirus pandemic is an evolving issue and we are monitoring the situation daily based on information provided by federal, state and local officials. Friendly Gus is fortunate to have been a staple in the community for many years, and we have weathered many storms. As with past events, we plan to remain open to serve our community with the same quality food and necessities at affordable prices.

We also wanted to inform customers that we are committed to practicing guidelines from the CDC and others. Stores are cleaned daily, high touch areas are being cleaned throughout the day with sanitizing solutions, and all employees have been instructed to follow hygiene and food service protocols, as they do every day. Many of our stores also have drive-thru’s and we encourage customers to use those where available.

We respectfully request that our customers do their part in flattening the exposure curve as well:

1. Practice good hygiene of washing your hands, avoid
touching your face, and sneeze or cough into a tissue or
the inside of your elbow.
2. If you are sick, please stay home.
3. Maintain social distancing while inside the store.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you over the years. We are comforted in knowing that God is in control and we remain faithful that He will deliver us from these uncertain times. We hope this provides comfort to you too.

-Friendly Gus Management
