GREENSBORO, N.C. — Global supermarket Lidl recently announced a new initiative to encourage safe shopping by offering free groceries at Triad stores.

The company just launched its safe shopping contest which rewards people who practice “safe shopping behavior”.

Customers will have the chance to win a $100 Lidl gift card every week through safe shopping until June 16.

“We have dozens of colorful social distancing stickers outside our stores to encourage customers to keep distance while waiting to enter the store,” Lidl said in a press release.

The company said the stickers contain fun facts about food and prompts customers to snap selfies that showcase safe shopping behavior, like wearing a creative face mask and demonstrating social distancing.

Customers can upload their photos to Instagram, tagging LidlUS and using the #LidlSafeShopping hashtag.

Lidl plans to choose one winner each week.
