π The Standard Behind a Store That Sells, the GCMCS Insight Digest is here.
Hereβs a number that stops shoppers cold: shopping cart handles carry more bacteria than many public restrooms, and E. coli turns up on about half the carts tested. Hundreds of hands grip the same carts, counters, and door handles every single day.
This week, with the holiday rush here, we go inside retail stores and shopping centers to break down the cleaning standard that keeps shoppers buying: high-touch disinfection, restroom and fitting-room care, floor and surface care, and documented reporting.
The takeaway? In a store, cleaning isnβt overhead. Itβs sales, and cleanliness is the #1 factor shoppers weigh when choosing where to spend.
From the entrance to the checkout, GCMCS maintains the stores Georgiaβs shoppers count on. π€
