Shopping local in times of distance
Businesses get creative BY DEBRA HERRICK
The foundation of Carpinteria’s small-town beach character is its eclectic mix of mom and pop shops and family-owned eateries, breweries and services. As the streets empty out, these businesses will struggle to stay afloat. As long as this crisis continues, CVN will be providing information from local business purveyors on what services they continue to offer and what the community can do to help.

From now on, weekday mornings from 7 to 9 a.m. are a special senior shopping time at Carpinteria’s Albertsons. Store director Tim Patterson is asking non-senior shoppers to avoid shopping during the short window of time so they can be safer for seniors and other at-risk members of the community. “We are asking that the community honor this time frame for these folks. We at store level are not able to police this, so we are asking that you respect this time for those in need,” said Patterson.
Seastrand is offering $50 gift certificates for $40.
Carpinteria’s Albertsons has started “senior shopping” times.
