CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Safe Shop is pleased to announce that FriendShip Kitchen, the retail division of Fremont-based Beck Suppliers, is the first retailer in the United States to be awarded Safe Shop Assured certification.

"Our 70 year old, 4th generation family-owned company has always put safety first," says Greg Ehrlich, president of FriendShip Kitchen. "We're committed to the safety of our employees, our customers, and our neighbors. We are honored to be the first retailer in the United States to be certified as Safe Shop Assured.

Safe Shop Assured certification may be earned by retailers who satisfy a nine-point checklist of essential safety measures. At FriendShip Kitchen, Safe Shop will be showcased through branded signage, floor distancing stickers, hand sanitizer stations, and more. Each touchpoint serves as a signal of the company's commitment to implementing and maintaining high standards.
"FriendShip Kitchen is a natural fit for our certification program," says Frank Beard, director of Safe Shop. "They belong to a certain class of convenience retailers that are constantly innovating and raising the bar for the entire industry. They take a lot of pride in their business, and it shows. I'm proud to see Safe Shop branding at their stores, and it will help customers feel better about their decision to shop there."
